[Live-devel] recorded .mp4 file won't play locally in Quicktime

i've been using openRTSP to record video to be streamed back over Darwin 
later on. the video is recorded as .mp4 format and the streaming back 
works fine. however, recorded clips will not play locally in Quicktime. 
they play without any problems in VLC.

the current sourcecode i'm using is the release dated 01.17.2007 and 
i've made minor modifications to it to record a stream into multiple 
files by making cuts at Iframe boundaries. i will be updating to the 
latest sourcecode but I haven't seen any fixes in between the two 
releases that are relevant to this problem in the change log. is this a 
known problem with the current release, as well?

the recording options I'm using are:

-v -4 -w 320 -h 240 -f 15 -H -b 50000

thanks,
