video_dimensions

Quick and easy video attributes -- width, height, bitrate, codec, duration, framerate. Inspired by Sam Stephenson's Dimensions gem.

Seamlessly supports multiple "backends" for sussing out video attributes, so it will try to find whatever utility the system has available (see Supported Backends) and use that.

require 'video_dimensions'

VideoDimensions.dimensions('~/Movies/720p.wmv') # => [1280, 720]
VideoDimensions.width('~/Movies/720p.wmv')      # => 1280
VideoDimensions.height('~/Movies/720p.wmv')     # => 720
VideoDimensions.bitrate('~/Movies/720p.wmv')    # => 5904
VideoDimensions.codec('~/Movies/720p.wmv')      # => "WMV3"
VideoDimensions.duration('~/Movies/720p.wmv')   # => "00:00:02"
VideoDimensions.framerate('~/Movies/720p.wmv')  # => 21.83

v = VideoDimensions('~/Movies/720p.wmv')
v.dimensions # => [1280, 720]
v.width      # => 1280
v.height     # => 720
v.bitrate    # => 5904
v.codec      # => "WMV3"
v.duration   # => "00:00:02"
v.framerate  # => 21.83
