The traditional way to do it is to add an atom with the codec's  
fourcc to the stsd atom.
This is what Xiph's QT component actually does, no matter what it  
says there.

Also, Perian implicitly defines MOV formats for everything it can  
play; for avi formats it just copies the video packets
and puts the extradata at the end of stsd like that.

(I uploaded ogg-audio.mov and huffyuv.mov to the mplayerhq incoming)
