The Linux "file" command just says it is "data"... instead of a
"QuickTime" file... so it looks like it doesn't have the usual
QuickTime magic.

("magic" would be the special code(s) in the file that implicitly or
explicitly says what type of file it is.)

Or at least not a "magic" known by the "file" command I have.


See ya
