* #GstQTMux::reserved-duration-remaining property to see how close to full
* the reserved space is becoming.
*
* Applications that wish to be able to use/edit a file while it is being
* written to by live content, can use the "Robust Prefill Muxing" mode. That
* mode is a variant of the "Robust Muxing" mode in that it will pre-allocate a
* completely valid header from the start for all tracks (i.e. it appears as
* though the file is "reserved-max-duration" long with all samples
* present). This mode can be enabled by setting the
* #GstQTMux::reserved-moov-update-period and #GstQTMux::reserved-prefill
* properties. Note that this mode is only possible with input streams that have
* a fixed sample size (such as raw audio and Prores Video) and that don't
* have reordered samples.
