I suspect ffmpeg or similar has some command like ffmpeg -explain-what-this-is movie.mov but I'd prefer not to require installs to install ffmpeg (although maybe this isn't the end of the world).Īlso ffmpeg is super illegal thought crime full of forbidden and completely unlicensed prime numbers or something, maybe?īasically, I'm currently pretty far out of my depth on understanding video container/codec formats and the tools available to interact with them, so I have very low confidence that I can predict how much damage various changes will cause. I'm also not sure how to detect that a given file is an MP4 video file, or if this video file even is MP4 - Quicktime Player reports it as "H.264" but I think all video files are basically 30-40 levels of container formats wrapped in one another and that this may be a H.264-encoded video stream inside an MP4 container inside a Quicktime container - or may not be. if ( $type = 'video/quicktime' ) īut there's no easy way to tell how much collateral damage this might cause (does it cause other browsers to not play these videos, or other videos?), and the cure might be worse than the disease. Trick Chrome into playing certain videos.
