DESCRIPTION
MP4FileInfo provides a string that contains a textual summary of the
contents of an mp4 file. This includes the track id’s, the track type,
and track specific information. For example, for a video track, media
encoding, image size, frame rate, and bitrate are summarized.
Note that the returned string is malloc’ed, so it is the caller’s
responsibility to free() the string to prevent memory leaks. Also note
that the returned string contains newlines and tabs which may or may
not be desirable.
