I don't know if it > handles DV but it's easy to test. yup, that's a start, but i'm not sure how to parse the output: $ tcprobe -i sample.dv [tcprobe] Digital Video (NTSC) [tcprobe] summary for sample.dv, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*) aspect ratio: 4:3 (*) frame rate: -f 29.970 [25.000] frc=4 (*) audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 32000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x1 [0x2000] (*) bitrate=1024 kbps $ i'm unfamiliar with the output format of tcprobe, so what's the deal with two different frame sizes being printed? and two different frame rates? how should i interpret that? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
