My mp4 container contains a value of (0XC64322C1) for creation time, and the analyzer interprets as 2009/05/27 17:02:57; How is this conversion done.A C code implementation for the same would be of great help.

That is the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight on January 1st, 1904. Googling this date reveals that lot of software uses this as an epoch, and it appears to be a holdover from legacy days.
I found this QuickTime file format specification which specifically refers to this date, as well as this thread and this interesting (albeit a bit lengthy) blog post.
