	I'll see what I can come up with. I was thinking of modifying the
demuxer so that it would treat moov atoms as cmov atoms and attempt to
decompress them. If the decompression operation fails, assume it was a
regular moov atom to begin with. This assumes that it's possible to fail
the decompression operation (it has a CRC, as I recall).

	Hey, even when these files are 'fixed' by replacing 'moov' with
'cmov', QT v5 doesn't know how to handle them. Go MPlayer!...:)

	Thanks...
