hm, using the string to int is a BAD hack and could be quite enjoyable if you have the right endianess...
how many time you have to do this comparison?
Doesn't really have anything to do with the int hack, just code complexity. int fourcc_len; char * fourcc; where fourcc is malloced is much annoying/harder to handle than simply char fourcc[4]; If we decide we are only going to use 4 bytes, then I can use the latter for implementation, and to prevent a redundant sanity check seeing that the fourcc is indeed 4 bytes, the length can be remove from the file. - ods15
