1) Please do not write mails by replying to completely unrelated mails
2) Your patch contains cosmetics and unrelated code, worst among those
reverting the lschunks function into one huge messy function again
instead of keeping the gen_sh_video/gen_sh_audio functions I split out.
3) As long as our mov demuxer is such a mess, a patch adding hundreds of
lines is not acceptable, so either get this feature down to an
acceptable and reviewable size or rework the mov demuxer code so it is
less of a mess. Or alternatively implement support for this in
libavformat instead (but don't expect the review process to be any
easier there, it is ffmpeg after all).

Greetings,
Reimar Döffinger
