In my experience, you always get the version info from the file resource.
That is, the same info you get when viewing the version tab in file properties.
As long as that info is accurate you should be safe.
Try all the extensions you can think of and see what you get.
Bertil Flink
Creative Media
Oh, now I see what you're really asking.
No, it returns a string, so you have to poke around a bit to get at the version info.
If you know the format it should be simple enough.
Director itself (MX), for instance, returns this:
theApp = baFindApp(dir)
put baFileVersion(theApp)
-- 9.0r383

For MPEG1, I would use 400x304 instead of 400x300. MPEG1 compresses in 16
pixel blocks, so for the best quality/most efficient MPEG1 you should always
use dimensions that are divisible by 16.
