Supposedly, the video on this page: http://lfhd.blogspot.com/2009/08/edit-bay-24p-monitoring-myth.html  is valid.  However, totem complains that "this file contains no playable streams."  It also doesn't play in vlc, mplayer, or xine.

Here's the direct URL: http://littlefrogpost.com/TEB-SE01.mov

MD5 is aa089cfbd2923fcf97627a0badc460d7, in case the author replaces the file with one of a different format.

This file is definitely not a valid file.

There's just
* a ftyp atom (specifying that it's a 'qt' file)
* a filler atom ('wide' 8 bytes)
* the actual data ('mdat' atom)

... but no header whatsoever. There's none of the following atoms:
* moov (movie)
* mvhd (movie header)
* trak (track)
* tkhd (track header)

The size of the 'mdat' atom is also wrong... it looks like he cancelled the export half-way through.

Closing this as invalid. Please tell the creator of this file to fix it.

Just in case you wondered: this file does not play in QuickTime on MaxOSX either ;) (for obvious reasons).
