Thanks for the attempt Ken.

My videos are either QT 7 H.264 or wmv files, so I need to assign one 
or the other
(the QT 7 H.264 are outstanding and much smaller in size)

So, for now I've resorted to the following:

set the defaultFolder to "C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystem"
put the files into tData
if "H264" is in tData then doStuff

If   H264 is not there I give them the wmv version.

It does seem a bit strange to have to load QT (QTVersions) in order to see what
version it is! Once you do that you are stuck!

Any comments on my hack of a work around are most appreciated.

ciao,
