I guess it makes it too complicated.

	char s[8];

Can you elaborate what the difference in output with this bit set over cleared?
I.o.w. why don't we need to put it as BE and for LE case addd "-LE"?

We know the size, and we may put '\0' as well
	if (*fourcc & BIT(31))
		strscpy(&s[4], "-BE", sizeof("-BE"));
	else
		strscpy(&s[4], "", sizeof(""));
