Why the aversion to just running a quick application to relocate the moov atom? When encoding, the metadata can't be inserted before encoding is complete since the final length and size of the video isn't yet known. Some encoders might automatically and seamlessly relocate the meta data after the encoding process but doing so is a distinct second step.
If you're encoding from the command line a simple ffmpeg -your -args -here;qt-faststart input.mp4 output.mp4 will do it all at once. There's a good python version of qt-faststart too if the original gives you troubles -
