qt-faststart: speedup
qt-faststart is terribly slow when the input file and the output file
are on a slow disk like a SD card. By increasing the copy_buffer from
1K to 32M I decreased the processing time on a sample file from
1600 seconds to 4 seconds. The timing difference is during 'copying
rest of file'.
