Doubtful.  I've worked with the mp4 file format for a few years now and it's
just fine.  The more likely problem is QuickTimeFileSink is a limited and
basic mov/mp4 implementation, and Live555 is a streaming library, not a
container library.  If the OP wants nice files, they should use a library
intended for writing mp4 files, like mp4v2.
