Check if Videofile isn't corrupt or fake

Is there a way to check if a Videofile is playable (by the WMP i.e.)? I mean a way to check if a File isn't corrupt or just a file with a fake ending, that it actually contains footage? Does somone know a Library that can do somthing like this? I'm not looking for a sepcific Videofile type, just as many as possible. I'm not looking for a way to check if a file is a Videofile, but if its actually playable.

This question can not be answered because there is no such thing as playable. You need to define playable. What should happen if the video file is 50% playable? 90%? 1%? What do you if there is a missing frame (it will play to the end, but there will be some visual artifacts) that playable? is a JPEG 'playable' as a single frame?
