videntify script to identify video files and codec types

[ILike2Watch]

i found this link in the quicktime forum at apple. its a script that identifies folders full of video files and does some cool stuff like killing webpages in quicktime movies so they don't open safari. if you download the newer version of the script you also need a couple of other programs that are listed there and they are free downloads. it uses ffmpeg for getting some of the info but it also works on some files i have that ffmpeg couldn't identify.

No problem. It is the convention to post MAC specific news & info in the MAC forum (which gets auto-highlighted as MAC: in the front page "latest topics").

Thanks for your post
