Hi,

mplayer could do the trick. It's a bit dirty, but it works...

Try:

	mplayer your-movie.avi -wid 42 2>&1 |egrep "^VIDEO|^AUDIO"

which produces (parseable) lines like:

VIDEO:  [DIV3]  352x264  24bpp  29.97 fps  680.8 kbps (83.1 kbyte/s)
AUDIO: srate=44100  chans=2  bps=2  sfmt=0x10  ratio: 8000->176400

Maybe it'd be better to add some kind of an "-info" switch to mplayer
instead of the "(hopefully) nonexistent window" trick ... ;)

JM2¢
