One minor suggestion:  It would probably be a good idea to move the code that 
determines if the file is RAW or "standard" to a couple of functions in the 
Utilities class, like the "isVideo()" method.  I'd probably also use a 
StringSet for faster lookups like the isVideo() method does, but that 
probably doesn't matter in this case, since runtime will be dominated by I/O.
