I have a sample which is about 1.5 Mb. How can I make is available to you ?
I have a FTP server where I could create an account just to access that 
file (if that helps)...

I agree on that, but my spare time is reduced and since I already made 
the effort, I would like to see this feature included first in the 
demux_mov file. As I see, it might take more time that I expected to get 
someone revise the patch, but that's the next point...

Ok, I will try to send smaller patches that just do a part of the task 
so someone can review them. Would that be better (faster) approach ? I 
just have the code that seem to be working fine and it's the first time 
I participate in an open source project. That's why I sent the patch 
with the complete implementation. As I see, that not the usual method.

Sorry for this late replay, I cannot spend as much time as I would like 
to to this.
