About Technical Q&A QA1518 - Using UTIs to Identify Image Files - what about Video?

Apple's recently released Technical Q&A 1518 uses UTIs to identify Image files. Given a path to a file, the routine show returns true if the file is an Image file. It actually uses the CGImageSourceCopyTypeIdentifiers: call to find a list of UTIs for the images files Quartz supports.

What about videos?

I need to be able to do exactly the same thing for the various file formats that Quicktime supports. (ex .mov & .mpg file types). I can not find a similar call in Quicktime to provide the UTIs for Quicktime compatible files.

Does anyone have better suggestion? I do not want to have to try to open the file, to determine if it is a video.

Thank you

Steve
