    Talking Need help with formula to retrieve a video length

    Hello,
    I have a running list in excel that I use to track quicktime (.mov) videos and their lengths. The file size is not always related to the actual video length due to different compression values. Is there a way that one can use a formula to pull the video length into excel by matching the file location and the file name? I have been entering them in manually but need to find a way to import the data automatically. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Sixthsense.

    The file that J-Walk created, when run, generates the following error:
    Run-time error '445':
    Object doesn't support this action.

    Could it be that the macro is only written to work on MP3 files? The files that I am looking to import the data are .mov files.
