As technology advances, multimedia files such as videos are susceptible to manipulation. This has led to serious concerns that images and videos are not trustworthy evidence as the files can be manipulated easily. As a result, forensic analysis of electronic multimedia files plays an important role in verifying the authenticity of video files. This paper provides comprehensive details of a binary file forensic analysis technique for different media file containers, mostly focused on AVI and MP4/MOV container format. We also provide a considerable number of details to identify a forgery among video files. We present pivotal parameters which need to be tested to authenticate a video file. By analyzing the binary data structures and metadata, we can detect the use of editing tools, verify the purported source of a video file, and identify the true acquisition device model.
