Hi,

have a video camera (Aiptek HD) that produces videos with video-codec AVC/h264 and audio-codec aac in a MOV-Container.
Current FFMpeg-Versions cannot convert these videos, older versions did.
If /libavformat/mov.c is the mov-demuxer it seems to me revision 15830 breaks something.

On my windows box I use the builds from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/
revision 15666 can read the video, revision 16043 cannot

Using rev 15666 the output reads:
