There are two programs specific to identifying video files. One
program hasn't been updated in more than ten years, while this one
is still supported.
https://www.videohelp.com/software/MediaInfo
Download Portable and other versions
Download MediaInfo 24.12 Portable Windows 64-bit 5MB <=== reasonably small
Win64 Win Portable Portable
When the program starts (from its portable folder), it will first put
up a preference dialog. You can turn off the File Explorer integration
if you want, as that isn't necessary. I had none of the preferences ticked
when I was finished.
Dropping a file onto the open pane of the program, looks like this.
This is a movie close to 3 hours, and it's the BUILD Conference from Microsoft.
It is a valid MP4 file with a sound track. That's what a proper movie detection
should look like.

That may help you decide whether it is encrypted or not, as
that program cannot decrypt content for you.
