- * Compile this program using:
- * make qt-faststart
+ * To compile this program, start from the base directory from which you
+ * are building FFmpeg and type:
+ * make tools/qt-faststart
+ * The qt-faststart program will be built in the tools/ directory. If you
+ * do not build the program in this manner, correct results are not
+ * guaranteed, particularly on 64-bit platforms.
* Invoke the program with:
* qt-faststart <infile.mov> <outfile.mov>
