Hi Josh,
I am working on a handler to determine whether a file is a media
file. (for OS X and Windows)
First, I check if the file has a proper extension (.mov, .jpg,
etc.) if so, I assume the extension is correct (a leap of faith
perhaps)
Second, I try to get the OS X filetype from the detailed files.
Some movies properly list "Moov", some don't.
Third, was going to try loading the file into a Player or Image
object and see if there's an error, but many types of files will
load into those objects fine (like text files)
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips beyond these things...
again this might be a case for Trevor's EXCELLENT QT External :-)
From the docs:
function qtGetMovieFileType (FilePath)
Description:
Returns the type of a file on disk.
Parameters:
FilePath: Path to movie file.
Return:
Type (multiframe graphic, image, qtvr, flash, video, sound, unknown,
unsupported)
Maybe that can help you to decide to load a file into a player or not.

P.S.
Perhaps you should print out the docs and put them under your pillow ;-)
