It's not fast start. I wouldn't generally trust the fast start
setting in an export, I've seen it fail too many times. Just open
your exported movie and do a Save As, that'll give you a fast start
movie every time.
It is not fast-start because someone added annotations after the
movie was flattened. A fast-start movie has the 'moov' atom near the
front of the file. Looking at the structure of this file we see that
the 123,602 byte 'moov' atom is at the end of the file, and that
there is a 122,930 byte 'free' atom 32 bytes from the beginning of
the file.:
'ftyp' size: 32 offset: 0 - File Type
'free' size: 122930 offset: 32 - Free Space
'free' size: 16 offset: 122962 - Free Space
'wide' size: 8 offset: 122978 - Place holder
'mdat' size: 7592783 offset: 122986 - Movie Data
'moov' size: 123602 offset: 7715769 - Movie
Looking at the structure of the 'free' atom I can see that it was a
'moov' atom when the file was originally exported. The original
'moov' atom did not have any meta data, but the new one at the end of
the file does:
'meta' size: 440 offset: 7838723 - Meta Data
'udta' size: 208 offset: 7839163 - User Data
So, it looks like someone added the annotations after the movie
was flattened. Colin's suggestion to Save As should fix it.
