MP4v2 - A C/C++ library to create, modify and read MP4 files

This is the new MP4v2 project, a fork of the abandoned MP4v2 library project now archived at Google Code.

The MP4v2 library provides an API to create and modify MP4 files as defined by ISO-IEC:14496-1:2001 MPEG-4 Systems. This file format is derived from Apple's QuickTime file format that has been used as a multimedia file format in a variety of platforms and applications. It is a very powerful and extensible format that can accommodate practically any type of media.

Please visit mp4v2.org for more information about this project and its goals.
