need help geting width/height of a video file

[tbare]

hello, all...

 

i'm looking for something like:

getimagesize()

but for video files (avi, wmv, mpeg...)

 

reason being is this:

if i take the hard-coded ( width='x' height='x' ) out of the string of an embedded video, it shows up fine in IE, but firefox is all distorted.

if i hard code ( width='500' height='500' ), and the video file is larger than either of those 2 dimensions, the video is distorted, so i would need to scale the video down to fit in the that size window.

 

is there anything out there for this?.... please??

is there anything out there for this?

 

Not through php, ffmpeg maybe?

[tbare]

well, that sucks...  are you familiar w/ ffmpeg at all? i'm not (in the least bit)...

[trq]

Actually, looking at the ffmpeg manual, it doesn't look like it can find such details either.

well, thanks for tryin, anyway... i checked out the manual, and couldn't find it, either... at least i'm just not that lost :-D

It looks pretty simple

 

$movie = new ffmpeg_movie(String path_to_media, boolean persistent);
$height = $movie->getFrameHeight();
$width = $movie->getFrameWidth();

 

ffmpeg-php needs to be installed, though.
