[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] [PATCH] libavformat/mov: Expose Quicktime poster_time value as metadata TAG.

[Bryce Chester Newman]

From: Bryce Chester Newman <bryce.newman at gettyimages.com>

I need the ability to derive the poster time found in the mvhd, so I can
use that value to create a thumbnail from ffmpeg. More details can be
found here
