without having a full understanding of the problem, i somehow doubt that 
the problem is really in pdp/pidip but rather within libquicktime.
putting a warning in the calling application might be even more 
confusing, once the codec get's fixed upstream.
filtering for a certain codec can also be confusing, since the 
codec-names are dynamically extracted from what libquicktime offers, and 
thus can change by simply installing/upgrading a certain plugin.

of course this doesn't help you with your problem.
