Listing QuickTime Atoms?

[Gary Rice]

If I want to find all of the resource identifiers in a Resource Fork,
I can call GetIndType (...) and it will return the next resource name
in the file.

But what if I want to do something similar in a QuickTime movie but do
it for the movie's atoms?

Is there a way to "discover" all of the atoms in a QuickTime movie
without knowing their names beforehand?

Thanks.

Parse the QT Movie file (or the MooV resource). It should take less than
an day to implement it.
