Hi pelli cui, what ffmpeg command did you use to get the movie duration?

Thanks.

For some video I can get duration by using ffmpeg, but some not. any suggesions? flvmdi is only for winxp. is there any one for linux?

secondly after convert mov to flv, why does the flv file size is double bigger than the mov? I did something wrong? any ideas? or It should be that way.

thanks

Hi Don,

The only way I can think of doing it here is to convert to flash and the run flvmdi with the “/v” argument so that the metadata is output to an xml file rather than embedded.

Is there a way to determine the length or duration of a video file? Can ffmpeg be used to determine the video duration?

Thanks,
