Hopefully, someone will be able to dig up the old list correspondence.
If not, you can take the existing patch, make it work with the current

No one does. I implemented this for xine but I blocked it out of my
mind. Download the QuickTime spec and find out what the elst and edts
atoms look like. Modify the mov demuxer to parse them instead of
skipping them.

Problem with task #3: I'm still finishing the description. I hope to
have it done today.
