Height and Width of a Windows Video file

[Jean-Luc Arnaud]

Hi,

As said in the Xojo Language reference: "/Although you can create a
Movie object on Windows, its properties are only accurate if QuickTime
is installed./"

So, how to get width and height of a Windows video file, using MBS, API calls or Shell command?

TIA for any help

You could require that the user install the ffmpeg runtime (it's free) and then call out to that.

Thanks, Tim.

I'm actually using the MediaInfo utility as a Shell command.

My goal is to not use such an external utility or have the user to
install something.

Curious since MediaInfo seems to be a third party tool, as well. Where did you get that?

https://mediaarea.net/ and https://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo/Download.

There is a .dll version, and I'm currently trying to code calls to it.
It works, but some parameters are not clear, or not documented enough,
so I just achived to open a file and get all information. Unsuccessful
with Get calls (allowing to get only one parameter).

https://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo/Download/Windows for downloading
either MediaInfo or Mediainfo.dll (for Windows).
