It depemnds. If I click on a mpeg1 on Tiger and get info, Im told its mpeg1 muxed and 320x240 and the duration. But I believe its probably using quicktime to get this info, its the same detail as I discover in quicktime using the 'Window->show movie info' option.
Normally I would just use quicktime to discover most info, but if quicktime cant read the file then thats obviously going to be a problem. Often if you see something described only as mpeg, it means mpeg1. Is this the file you couldnt open in quicktime or am I confusing ou with someone else? Did you try it with VLC? I'll see what sort of file it is if you send me a link to it.
