Converters are in priority order. That is, early converter entries handle the format better than later converters.
Extensions are in order of importance, with the format's primary extension appearing first.

I had spent some time looking for a good program to parse it, and failed. I spent more time trying to code my own that would output JSON, but there are just a ton of edge cases and I gave up. In addition to the website link above, more details here: https://mailformat.dan.info/ Once I get working, update program Email_Outlook_Message to chain to convert the resulting .eml into this format handler (to handle attachments). Then re-process document/outlookMessage CDs | |

video | Apple QuickTime movie | .mov .omv .pmv .qt | ffmpeg qt_flatt mencoderWinXP quickTimePlayer corelPhotoPaint xanim | 31 sample files - So quicktime movies require both a 'moov' section that contains movie metadata and info about the movie and a 'mdat' section that contains the actual movie contents. Early quicktime movies had the 'moov' section in the resource fork of the file and the 'mdat' section in the data fork. Sadly on my PC/Mac 'hybrid' CDs, the resource fork got stripped during mastering the PC side, so there is no 'moov' section on the PC files. Luckilly in these cases you can see they usually included an .avi alternative on the PC side, and of course the Mac side has the full quicktime movie, fully working. There are a handful of cases where the on a pure PC only CD there are 'dead' .mov files that are missing their 'moov' data, but there isn't anything really that can be done here. In theor it might be possible to train a generative AI model to examine tens of thousands of working quicktime .mov files, examining the 'mdat' section and seeing how it relates to the 'moov' section. Then maybe it would be possible to feed it some of these 'bare mdat' files and have it generate a 'moov' section that would work well enough to convert, but that's not something I'm capable of doing myself and it might not work anyways. Some more info about the issue: https://preservation.tylerthorsted.com/2023/10/06/quicktime-moov/ Finally, ffmpeg itself can't deal with MacBinary 2 versions of quicktime movies (these include both the mdat data fork and moov resource fork data in 1 file), but the 'qtflat' tool can flatten these into a video file ffmpeg can work with |
