Description

Some movies with unsupported codecs (at least svq3, and maybe others) cause QTReader to report that the QuickTime resource fork was not found. One such movie is  keck3.mov:

curtis@monk:~/Desktop$ showinf keck3.mov 
Checking file format [QuickTime]
Initializing reader
        Parsing tags
        Populating metadata
Exception in thread "main" loci.formats.FormatException: QuickTime resource fork not found.  To avoid this issue, please flatten your QuickTime movies before importing with Bio-Formats.
