Wanting to automate opening videos in GEM. Is there any library with<br>a function to check a movie header for fps?</blockquote><div><br>
This really varies by platform and API. For example, Quicktime
doesn't really have the concept of a frame per second in the container
format. That might sound odd, but it allows for frames of
different lengths in the same container and multiple frame rate tracks
of media to work alongside each other. <br>

Right now with QT we sort of guess at the framerate because it helps to
open the movie file faster. It is not a very accurate number
though and I would not use it for controlling playback. The
'auto' and 'rate' messages do allow for accurate control of playback
based on any media of any framerate.<br>
