Is there a way in python to get the dimensions of a video file or some other library that would accomplish th开发者_如何学JAVAis? The equivalent of a Media Info or something? Thank you.

If I understood you correctly, you mean the resolution of a video for example (768x432).

This could be done simply using opencv in python.

import cv2
file_path = "./video.avi"  # change to your own video path
vid = cv2.VideoCapture(file_path)
height = vid.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT)
width = vid.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH)

How about using ffmpeg-python:

import ffmpeg
probe = ffmpeg.probe(movie_path)
video_streams = [stream for stream in probe["streams"] if stream["codec_type"] == "video"]

It gives you a very nice output like this:

>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(video_streams[0])

 'bit_rate': '3291',
 'bits_per_raw_sample': '8',

                 'dub': 0,

                 'hearing_impaired': 0,
                 'karaoke': 0,
                 'lyrics': 0,
                 'original': 0,
                 'timed_thumbnails': 0,
                 'visual_impaired': 0},
 'duration': '71.833333',
 'duration_ts': 6465000,
 'field_order': 'progressive',
 'has_b_frames': 1,
 'height': 240,
 'index': 0,
 'is_avc': 'true',
 'level': 13,
 'nal_length_size': '4',
 'pix_fmt': 'yuv420p',

          'handler_name': 'VideoHandler',
          'language': 'und'},
 'time_base': '1/90000',
 'width': 320}

The only downside is that ffmpeg is required, but this should not be a problem in most of the cases.

In my last company we had similar problem and I couldn't find any python library to do this. So I ended up using mediainfo from python, media info also has a command line option and it is very easy to parse the output, so practically your python module which uses media-info will be sufficient. It has further advantage because eventually you will find all media-info type software doesn't support all codecs/format so you can use multiple software/libs under the hood with single python wrapper.

---

This library seems to have an example that does just that on its main page (print_info(vs)):

http://code.google.com/p/ffvideo/

It's a wrapper around ffmpeg (there seems to be a few Python libraries for using ffmpeg).

You could use a pure Python tool hachoir-metadata:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Get dimensions of a video file.

Usage: get-video-dimensions <video-file>
"""
import sys
from itertools import chain

from hachoir_core.cmd_line import unicodeFilename
from hachoir_metadata import extractMetadata
from hachoir_parser import createParser

if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    sys.exit(__doc__)

file_metadata = extractMetadata(createParser(unicodeFilename(sys.argv[1])))
print("%sx%s" % next((metadata.get('width'), metadata.get('height'))
                     for metadata in chain([file_metadata], file_metadata.iterGroups())
                     if metadata.has('width') and metadata.get('height')))

To install:

$ pip install hachoir-{core,parser,metadata}

There is a python module called pymediainfo - https://pypi.org/project/pymediainfo/ You can use this to get the required metadata of the media file.

Create a directory

mkdir supportfiles

For some reasons I install the module in target directory called "supportfiles"

pip install pymediainfo -t supportfiles/

To get the dimension/resolution of the video file

resolution.py

from supportfiles.pymediainfo import MediaInfo
media_info = MediaInfo.parse('/home/sathish/Videos/Aandipatti.mp4')

for track in media_info.tracks:
    if track.track_type == 'Video':
        print ("Resolution {}x{}".format(track.width, track.height))

Here is the output

[sathish@localhost test]$ python3.6 resolution.py 
Resolution 1920x1080

Just in case if you want to know the list of metadata attributes, Here is the solution

attributes.py

from supportfiles.pymediainfo import MediaInfo
media_info = MediaInfo.parse('/home/sathish/Videos/Aandipatti.mp4')
print(media_info.tracks)
for track in media_info.tracks:
    if track.track_type == 'Video':
        print(track.to_data().keys())
    elif track.track_type == 'Audio':
        print(track.to_data().keys())
    elif track.track_type == 'General':
        print(track.to_data().keys())
    else:
        print("No metadata present! or probably file corrupt!")

Here is the list of the attributes

[sathish@localhost test]$ python3.6 attributes.py 
[<Track track_id='None', track_type='General'>, <Track track_id='1', track_type='Video'>, <Track track_id='2', track_type='Audio'>]

The video module in Pygame should work.

You can also get the dimensions directly from the windows metadata:

import win32com.client
def get_dimensions(path,file):
    sh = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Shell.Application', 0)
    ns = sh.NameSpace(path)
    item = ns.ParseName(file)
    height = ns.GetDetailsOf(item,314)
    width = ns.GetDetailsOf(item,316)
    return [height, width]

dimensions = get_dimensions("C:\folder","video.avi")

To get a full overview of available attributes, you can try:

attributes_list = []
for i in range(330):
    attributes_list.append([ns.GetDetailsOf("",i), ns.GetDetailsOf(item,i)])
print(attributes_list)

---

Old question but... To get the size of a file:

file_size_in_Mio = os.path.getsize(name_of_video) //(1024*1024)
