We do not have an AVParser for the format used in mov though, and if I
understand the issue with
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/PAFF/Cam_PAL_D1_inter_Field_25fps_2.5MBS.mp4
correctly we would need one for that as well.
I think this would be rather little effort, but not completely sure...
