Point taken, although I do think it would a better way of design, this is 
not code sharing, just sharing a table between 2 programs which are doing 
the same ;), but anyway, leave it like that.

Mplayer has default support for MOV/QT/MP4 files, so its worth inserting 
it into the dbcheck, as a lot of Camera's generate these .mov files, at 
least in europe, I can't speak for US guys.
