Re: [Openquicktime-users] Installing Video::OpenQuicktime

[Stefan S. <st...@ra...>]

Hello Nick and list subscribers,

Thank you for the update of OpenQuicktime.pm you sent me. It seemed to=20
work, but now there's another problem: Video::Info doesn't pass the test =

scripts. I think I give up for the moment. :-)

Do you have any ideas on how far away release 2.0 is?

Anyway, what I intended to do is to write a perl script that can=20
identify media files (video and audio) and extract information from=20
them, such as size, length, framerate, bitrate, comments, ID3-tags and=20
so on.

Maybe some of you with more experience from media files can point me to=20
another solution (using OpenQuicktime actually seem to be a little bit=20
overkill for this purpose)? I'm also interested in technical=20
specifications of different media files (in worst case, I'll write my=20
own detection and information extraction algorithms :-)).

Stefan
