+The MP4v2 library provides an API to create and modify mp4 files
+as defined by ISO-IEC:14496-1:2001 MPEG-4 Systems. This file format
+is derived from Apple's QuickTime file format that has been used
+as a multimedia file format in a variety of platforms and applications.
+It is a very powerful and extensible format that can accommodate
+practically any type of media.
+
+MP4v2 was originally bundled with mpeg4ip library, but has been
+moved into its own maintained library due to a combination of the
+cessation of support of mpeg4ip and the usefulness of this library
+on its own.
