just drag and drop the movie clip on the Dumpster icon, you should then be able to navigate the QT atoms structure
For sure, I was able to navigate through its structure, but could not find meaningfull information to extract from these structures nor could I export any data for the developpers from this interesting tool.

Oops, ffmpeg makes us used to tools that gets anything in input/output. I should have been more careful before posting this :) But it does not change the fact that it should not return 0 on error. As ffmpeg does when it tells "Could not write header for output file".
