My apologies for my last email, admittedly I was more tired that I thought as
after re-reading it and the emails coming in, I found that I did not provided
"proper" information.
1. I have a script that is detecting multiple various bits of information of a
video file using MediaInfo and putting that information into a txt file with the
format of:
(Example:)
num_vid_track=?
num_aud_track=?
num_sub_track=?
Granted that is only part of the information being obtained but it's all in the
same format.
I have been trying multiple ways of grabbing this information for re-use,
including using this snippet, suggested to me by fellow users of the #python irc
channel..

only issue is, I can barely understand the documentation I kept getting pointed
to for retrieving the information captured from stdout. Which is why I went with
another friends suggestion of outputting all of the information to a text file.
Sorry if this seems to have veered off course, but which method would be more
recommended to implement?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with an "assembly line" of components:
Use MediaInfo to write data to a text file;
Use Python to read the text file and process it;
Use <some tool> to modify the video according to the text file;
etc.
You don't need a single monolithic script to do everything... if you
have an easy way of calling MediaInfo and getting it to write its data
to text files, stick with that.
