This sounds as if using "ffmpeg -f mov -i file" may have been 
easier...

It may be theoretically possible to read the file (I am not 
100% sure), FFmpeg certainly does not support it.
You could take the moov atom from another file from the same 
camera, add it to the end of the file and fix the offset of 
the atom in the beginning of the file (mdat ?)
