> mpeg probing is very forgiving, willing to skip over arbitrary junk between "start codes". Its not unusual to find things which look like start codes in other formats. Normally that isn't a problem as other formats will get higher probe scores, but jpeg probe scores will only be 25 unless it reaches the End Of Image tag.

this will break detection of 1 out of 16M randomly cut mpegs
also add 1 byte and all this breaks down.

also if you find word files that are detected as mpeg, will you add a
check for word files in here ?

I dont think this is the correct approach.

can you provide links to the misdetected files ?

Thanks
