File transfer method and terminal adapted thereto

A terminal comprising:

• an external terminal connecting unit, for receiving a moving image file request signal and transferring a moving image file corresponding to the received request signal;
• a storage unit for storing the moving image file;
• and
• a controller for receiving the moving image file request signal, determining whether the moving image file corresponding to the request signal is in an ISO base media file format, rearranging a movie (moov) box so that it is in front of a media data (mdat) box in the moving image file, in terms of the transfer sequence, if the moving image file is in an ISO base media file format, and transferring the moving image file composed of the rearranged boxes to the external terminal,
• wherein the moov box is one of the boxes contained in the moving image file and contains detailed information to reproduce moving image data.

An apparatus for performing a file transfer comprising:

• a processor in communication with a memory, the memory including code which when accessed by the processor causes the processor to:
• receive a moving image file request signal;
• determine whether the moving image file to be transferred is in an ISO base media file format comprising:
• a ftyp box indicating a file type, an mdat box containing moving image data, and a moov box containing detailed information to reproduce moving image data;
• rearrange the movie (moov) box so that it is in front of the media data (mdat) box in the moving image file, in terms of the transfer sequence wherein the moov box is one of the boxes contained in the moving image file and contains detailed information to reproduce moving image data;
• and
• transfer the moving image file composed of the rearranged boxes.
