Re: [Openquicktime-users] .mov file info?

[Rob C. <ro...@so...>]

I know that Quicktime is, unlike .avi files, based upon an "atom"-structure.
If I am correct this structure is also used for the MPEG4 file format. And
thanks to the MPEG4IP project there's a lib available that has the function
Mp4FileInfo which basically dumps all track information. I compiled this
into a .dll which I can call from VB, works perfectly.
Now I'd like to do the same thing for .Mov files but.. I can't find anything
like a functionality like "MOVFileInfo" but it seems that I'll have to build
such a function myself?
