The mov demuxer doesn't support bad data offsets in tfhd/trun

[RedDwarf]

In this sample ​http://btskprobe.edgesuite.net/BigBuckBunny/Big%20buck%20bunny.ism/QualityLevels(2436000)/Fragments(video=0)

Which "​http://btskprobe.edgesuite.net/BigBuckBunny/Big%20buck%20bunny.ism/Manifest" says was created with "Expression Encoder version 2.1.1216.0". Neither the tfhd or trun boxes specify a data offset. No discussion, the file is broken. But apparently they are on the wild...

VLC is able to play the stream correctly. From what I understand simply because it ignores data offsets. It just looks for sample sizes, looks for the mdat box and is happy with it.

It would be nice if libavformat would better handle these files. I guess a check could be added to see if the sample->pos is inside the (first) mdat box. If it isn't, use as implicit offset the start of the mdat box instead of the one from the moof.

Please attach a sample input file and post your failing command line including the complete, uncut console output to make this a valid ticket.

I have attached ​http://btskprobe.edgesuite.net/BigBuckBunny/Big%20buck%20bunny_300000.ismv (26 MiB) until the end of the first video mdat box.
Seems to be an old version of ​http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18199 . The current one, done with "Expression Encoder version 4.0.1628.0", works just fine.

The error with ffplay is this, which seems to be unrelated to the data offsets problem. I noticed the data offsets problem when using my own code using libavformat (since the data offset was wrong, one avio_seek() used a offset behind the current one, the AVIOContext didn't support seek, and it broke).

Which version of vlc plays broken_offset.ismv?
