Why FFmpeg cannot show / export file information?
It's ridiculous to use a separate program called FFprobe just to get a few
lines of file information. FFprobe is equally as big as FFmpeg, adding
another 16 MB to the total size.
FFmpeg retrieves file information anyway, since it needs it to perform the
conversion. It could show just the basic info, like file format, number of
frames, frame rate, image size, audio format, etc, that can be redirected
to a file. Like this:
ffmpeg -info file.mpg > file_info.txt
I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants this.
