Title: multiple .mpg identified as BS/BIN
Post by: joannalaine on June 18, 2008, 03:22:09 AM

Hi,
I have analyzed a few .mpg files using TrIDNET and they all report as BS/BIN PrintFox (C64) bitmap files.
Is there any explanation for this?

Thanks,
Joanna

Hi!

That's a bit strange. Are you sure you are using updated definitions?
Eventually, if you can send (see the contacts page (http://mark0.net/contacts.html)) one or a couple of the smaller .mpg files, I will surely take a look at them to see what's may going on.

Thanks,
Bye!

the files are large, but I think I found them online. i will find the links and you can download as you see fit.

on an unrelated note, what a coincidence that the day after i found and used your product for the first time, it gets mentioned on lifehacker!
