"iods" atom did not appear in version 2 ? It seems to be written around.

Here:
http://www.geocities.com/xhelmboyx/quicktime/formats/mp4-layout.txt
But that might be not a good reference.

I assumed wrongly that if "iods" was not in version 1, OD track, and
BIFS track were not mandatory.

I wonder, if there is no difference, why did they increase version
number. Do you have any idea ?

So, if we do not create BIFS and OD track, what brand can we use ?
