#qt-faststart - This is a useful tool if you're showing your H.264 in MP4 videos on the web. It relocates some data in the video to allow playback to begin before the file is completely downloaded. Usage: qt-faststart input.mp4 output.mp4.

  --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default install -Dm755 tools/qt-faststart \

# Add lavf support to x264 - This allows x264 to accept just about any input that FFmpeg can handle and is useful if you want to use x264 directly.
