You can use qt-faststart. It's part of FFmpeg, but if you don't have it
then compiling it is easy if you have the FFmpeg source:

cd ffmpeg/tools
make qt-faststart

Usage:
qt-faststart input.mp4 output.mp4

Alternatively, you could use MP4Box. Probably something like:
MP4Box -add input.mp4 output.mp4

Ah, now I see Reindl already replied because I'm a slow typer, but I'll
send anyway.
