File from Steven, and another one from ticket 8883.
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8883

Put moov after moof doesn't make sense, but I’m not sure they are
valid or not. Those files are generated like this:

1. Use hoov as moov to create a fragmented mp4.
2. At last, create a normal moov box.

For demuxer which doesn’t know hoov (maybe don’t know moof neither),
they are normal files. VLC and quicktime player can playback those
samples. FFmpeg only handle the first fragment because it treat
hoov as moov.

gstreamer has a similar strategy but not the same:

I’m really interested to know where do those hoov files come from, so
we don’t fix a case and failed for another case.
