MP4 Stream

A utility (written in Go) for parsing MP4 files and outputting portions of the streams. It is intended to be used for pseudo-streaming.

This is my first attempt at a Go program. It is very rough and incomplete right now. At this point, it only parses the boxes/atoms of an MP4 container. I plan to continue working on the functionality until it is capable of using the moov box information to generate a new MP4 consisting of a specific time portion of the original MP4. Patches and suggestions welcome!
