[MPlayer-users] Determining video details?

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

mplayer is able to detect details about the video like

- length in time
- Height and width
- scaling factor
- audio and video bitrates
- audio and video encoding


but it is rather difficult to determine these facts from an
shellscript, since mplayer opens a windows, runs the video, and hides
information in  some crowded output or even OSD. 

Would be nice if mplayer had a mode/command option, or if there was
an additional program which can be called with any given video file, 
prints all these informations in a format easy to parse to stdout, 
and then exits.

regards
Hadmut
