How to read video format information

is it possible to "read" Avi or MPEG file format information in .NET ? For开发者_JAVA技巧 example: codec used, the video lenght, bitrate and so on ? I don't know where to find it into my video....

Thanks

Here is a sample application + source code : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/riffparser.aspx . It is in pure c# so you should be able to use it on mono.

Yes, have a look at Banshee project (it's a player) developer for Mono (compatible with .NET).

It uses GStreaming library, so you may want to look at it directly.

Banshee actually uses TagLib#, which supports a variety of media formats (audio, video, and images).
