Good lord! mplayer even accepts DirectShow drivers from my Windows box.Time to toss my perl script that used tcprobe. :) I'm still reeling from all of the stuff that mplayer figured out that transcode couldn't (like my ASF/WMV files), so forgive me if I seem to be chomping at the bit. My initial plan would be to make a perl module that could: o Use mplayer to find out anything it can about the source content and store them in some array of variables that the calling script could use. o If mplayer comes up with some bogus values (it just told me that one video was 1000fps and an aspect ratio of "0") use other values to figure them out (like your mplayerprobe.sh does with aspect ratio) o If mplayer complains about missing DirectShow filters/codecs, catch the complaint and somehow notify the calling script of the codec they need to provide.
Has someone already done something like this? - Joe
