  Description     : a library that provides functions to read, create, and modify mp4 files
.
The MP4v2 library provides an API to create and modify mp4 files as
defined by ISO-IEC:14496-1:2001 MPEG-4 Systems. This file format is
derived from Apple's QuickTime file format that has been used as a
multimedia file format in a variety of platforms and applications. It is
a very powerful and extensible format that can accomodate practically
any type of media.
.
MP4v2 was originally bundled with mpeg4ip library, but has been moved
into its own maintained library due to a combination of the cessation of
support of mpeg4ip and the usefulness of this library on its own.

The Debian multimedia packages maintainers are still unsure if there are
packages that actually make use of this library at all. Interested
users, please indicate your interest in this bug and CC our mailing
