Bad Programmer

To the team of Apple engineers who developed the Quicktime API for accessing information... bad programmers! No pizza and beer for you!

To the team of Apple engineers who developed the Quicktime file format, we have extra pizza and beer available for you.

In case it's not obvious, I've been trying to build an application that can convert to/from a Quicktime MooV file. Originally I thought using the API would be best, but it seems that it will be easier just to fopen the file and parse it using the definition of the QT file format. On the flipside, this will make dorking with a MPEG4 file format a lot simpler for me. I'd still like to know how to get, or why I can't get, the root atom I'm looking for. It fails with absolutely no error.
