In Apple's excellent book Quicktime for the Web it states that
there is a MSmpeg codec that,naturally, only works in windows.
Quicktime pro will identify this track as such. just one more thing

What's the easiest way to find out what type of file (the metadata, I guess) I'm working with here? A Get Info seems to only tell me the file is MPEG; is there an app that more clearly defines what type of MPEG this is?
