There is no doubt to me and my colleagues that MediaInfo is often more usable (or "better") that ffprobe - we've found it gives much better control of the output and has a GUI for those that want it.

Re: [FFmpeg-user] Resizing ffplay window with fixed aspect ratio
While ffmpeg is quite useful, there are better free players than ffplay* (often built on the ffmpeg libs). And for some purposes, there are better open-source info tools than ffprobe. *from the doc- "It is mostly used as a testbed for the various FFmpeg APIs." I hadn't noticed mplayer leaking memory but then I haven't used it for a few years.

[FFmpeg-user] Resizing ffplay window with fixed aspect ratio
Is there an option which fixes the ffplay window to the video dimension when resizing? I really don't understand why anyone would desire the default behavior of scaling the video to fit the smallest dimension, leaving black bars on either side.
