No, ffmpeg can't add custom or arbitrary atoms. > I need to add the term "loop" in the header of MP4 files before the "moov" > atom. > > More information can be found here : > > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44893316/whatsapp-video-as-gif-sharing-on-android-programatically That doesn't seem to be a standard atom. I do see mention of a "LOOP" atom here though: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/QTFFChap2/qtff2.html > Note: Just opening the video file using any text editor shows the file > header and atoms.

AtomicParsley, while being able to edit atoms, unfortunately doesn't seem to be able to add arbitrary atoms. If the atom was some kind of standard, you could modify ffmpeg to add it (e.g. with an output option similar to the gif muxer's "-loop"). > I wish to add some parameter to the above command (or maybe run a separate > command) so that the output mp4 file has that "loop" atom in the header. Someone who knows their way around this fishy atom business ("fishy" just because I'm too stupid to wrap my head around it) could probably implement this in ffmpeg in a breeze. Since, from what I found, it's not even "standard", I doubt it would be accepted for ffmpeg.
