Identify avi resolution

Post by dargaud »

Hello all,
I thought that using "identify file.avi" or "identify file.avi[1]" would return (among other things) the X/Y dimensions of the video. But when I type it on my Ubuntu system, all I get is the following message and then the command hangs.

Code: Select all

mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory
What is the simplest way to get the dimensions, with or without IM ? Thanks.
