I want to get a handle on which utility might work for determining file format info. I downloaded a sample clip, and followed tutorial instructions. The file was a .mov, and qtinfo worked. Is there a general utility for .avi, .mpeg, etc.?

Hello Tom,

This works fine :
mplayer -identify <your_video_file>

Nicolas:  Wow!  Have I ever got a lot of work to do!  :)

According to the output, there's no possible way for my computer to play my file . . . . but it did. I ran the same command with $>mplayer -identify rassegna2.avi and the output showed some interesting stuff I could do to polish up the sample clip from http://cvs.cinelerra.org/footage/ page. Well, first things first. I will start by checking out the possibility of beefing up RAM from 384 to 512Mb. Then, I need to smooth out my video driver situation, as mplayer had trouble finding the right video driver. Once I get the startup stuff cleaned up, I'll move on to how to create my video file, properly. Audacity seems to produce audio files "right out of the box" that work pretty well. So, don't go away. I'll be back.
