No, usually not.  The width and height of the image is usually 
contained in the video data itself - i.e., defined as header 
information in the codec

It depends on the video codec that's contained in the .mov file.

(Note, BTW, that your question is off-topic for this mailing list, as 
it doesn't really relate to the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" software.)
