Quicktime/MP4 Fast Start

Enable streaming and pseudo-streaming of Quicktime and MP4 files by moving metadata and offset information to the front of the file.

This program is based on qt-faststart.c from the ffmpeg project, which is released into the public domain, as well as ISO 14496-12:2005 (the official spec for MP4), which can be obtained from the ISO or found online.

The goals of this project are to run anywhere without compilation (in particular, many Windows and Mac OS X users have trouble getting qt-faststart.c compiled), to run about as fast as the C version, to be more user friendly, and to use less actual lines of code doing so.

This is a .NET port of the python library available here: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/qtfaststart
