Well, mine's going to be in Perl because I think that it's far more difficult to make something robust in Bourne shell. I'm going to use it to learn object-oriented Perl (even though I consider that to be an oxymoron).

My plan for the usage would be something like this:

 my $probe = MPlayerProbe->new($filename);
 unless($probe->hasErrors()) {
    print "Audio format is :" . $probe->audioStream()->format(); . "\n";
    print "Video bitrate :" . $probe->videoStream()->bitrate() . "\n";
print "The appropriate video import flags for transcode would be : " . $probe->videoStream()->transcodeImportFlags() . "\n";
 }else {
   print $probe->getErrors();
 }

You get the idea.....
