But it should be done as a script... The profusion of examples with hardcoded geometry information is an embarrassment. This script is an example of what I mean: http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?MplayerProbe Note in particular the section which calls bc to do math. I think bc is preferable to using ksh in this sort of thing for the sake of clarity, but ksh may be a reasonable choice. Examples with hardcoded geometry may be helpful for those of us who can discern canonical from arbitrary values, but they are confusing for people new to video processing.
