The original file displays correct English CC text in QuickTime Player, and
the remuxed file (prior to the fix) does not.

That is a matter of personal preference.  I personally find "cdat" more
readable (and searchable) than any MKBETAG.

I fully expect the size of uint32_t to be 32 bits, on any platform.  It
should be a compile time assertio n, but that is outside the scope of this
fix.  The name of the data type says it's 32 bit long, so it must be so.

Again, this is a matter of personal preference.  If you would prefer to
tweak the patch to suit your personal preference before merging -- you are
free to do so, but I don't think it's a valid reason to delay a fix for a
parser that has been mis-parsing well-formed files for the past 5 years.

Please feel free to make additional improvements to whatever fix you decide
to merge.
