Scripting: Check size of a video file? (WMV/FLV) - PHP - GoFuckYourself.com

Does someone have a method for checking the dimensions of a video, not using meta data? Here's the thing... I have some videos that don't have metadata, FLV&WMV for the same video... In Windows, the size of the WMV shows up as 320x240, but not the FLV. It's safe to assume that each FLV is the same size as the corresponding WMV.

How do I read this size info that Windows sees in PHP?

You could install ffpmeg or mencoder on your server, exec it and then parse the output.

getframewidth
getframeheight

As soon as you compile ffmpeg-php:

<?
$movie = new ffmpeg_movie('trailer.flv');
$height = $movie->getframeheight();
$width = $movie->getframewidth();
echo "$width x $height";
?>

Mmmmm.... That's sexy.
