Hey, I think this person deserves a lot of credit!  If a 5.3MB qt
movie was file was reduced to 800 bytes, that's quite an
accomplishment!

Hmm... OTOH, something like

   ...
   fd = open("movie_file", O_WRONLY);
   ftruncate(fd, 800);
   ...

would do the job.  Though I can't say that the results would be all
that useful... 

OTOOH, if your marketing user managed to do something like that, I'd
still be pretty impressed!  =8^)
