Why wouldn't the mov demuxer parse these atoms and fill them in the same
way the dnxhd encoder does? The idea is that anything that outputs encoded
dnxhd frames should fill these data structures (where-ever they are, but
should probably be in some lavformat structure, not a lavcodec structure),
and for backwards compat you should also deal with the fact that they might
not be there.
