FFProbe

FFProbe is used to inspect media, for example to view format or stream information. You can use the following command line to view a file's format and stream information. It will print out information about the file's streams, such as video and audio streams, as well as the container format.

ffprobe -v error -show_streams -show_format -print_format json <name_of_media>

Useful options

• -v error suppresses FFprobe's header and decoding information, so we only see the interesting output information.
• -print_format json argument makes the output easier to read.
• -select_streams v argument will only print video streams. It can be replaced by a to show only audio streams, or s to show only subtitle streams.
