Yeah. As it turns out, the IDE has done it for us, which I forgot about 
when I wrote that. But, also as it turns out, I had to write a similar 
script yesterday to select video files and I had the same problem -- how 
to tell if a file was a movie. You can't rely on the player giving you 
an error because QT will accept almost any kind of file without 
complaint. What I ended up doing was checking to see if the duration was 
greater than zero. For images though, you can rely on an error after 
trying to import.
