[ACCEPTED]-How do I extract video information from a H.264 .TS file?-analyzer

You can run mediainfo (here) and parse its output.

mediainfo <filename> will 1 give you this kind of information:

You should be able to use ffmpeg to get 9 good details of the encoded video. VLC will 8 also give you quite a bit of information 7 but may not all the information you need. You 6 can check for that as well. If you need 5 even more information, then you can extract 4 the video and audio elementary streams from 3 the TS file ( using bbdemux etc utilities 2 ) and then you can analyse the video stream 1 separately using Elecard Stream analyzer.

For TS audio and video bitrate I wrote a 12 small utility.

It searches for PAT packet, then 11 extracts PMT PID, then looks up the PMT 10 packet and extracts the PID for video and 9 audio packets. AFter that I'm able to calculate 8 the relative proportion of audio and video 7 packets in the whole stream.

From the total 6 bitrate (obtained with other utilities (eg: size/duration)) then 5 it's a simple multiplication to get the 4 values..

Note: I don't analyze the whole 3 stream, only the first couple of megabytes.

I'm 2 still interested in any existing utilities 1 which can give me this info.
