How to find duration of a video file using mediainfo in seconds or other formats?

How can I find duration of a video file in miliseconds i.e. in integer in deterministic way. I have used ffprobe to get the duration but it doesn't give duration for all file formats.

Solution

  • Use the following commands:

    i) To get the duration of video stream:

    $ mediainfo --Inform="Video;%Duration%"  [inputfile]

    ii) To get the duration of the media file:

    $ mediainfo --Inform="General;%Duration%" [inputfile]

    iii) To get the duration of audio stream only:

    $ mediainfo --Inform="Audio;%Duration%" [inputfile]

    iv) To get values of more than one parameter:

    $ mediainfo --Inform="Video;%Width%,%Height%,%BitRate%,%FrameRate%" [inputfile]

    Output would be something like this:

    1280,720,3000000,30.0
