FAQ: How to get FFmpeg information about a file

[Paul]

John, I'm not really sure what you need... To get FFmpeg information about a single file, you can just use the "ffmpeg -i <filename>", why would you need a batch file for that? I thought you need to go through all your files and get FFmpeg information on all of them in a single go (batch)?

Dennis,

the cmd screen does not display the all ffmpeg data to the right because I can not drag the screen to the right, just up and down.
-- I can not see and paste all the data

the batch process is efficient and quick.

Ok, then all you need is "ffmpeg -i <filename> > ffmpeg_info.txt", right? This'll get you information on <filename> and output it to "ffmpeg_info.txt" file.
