And do you know how to get the video resolution (frame width and height) that will work on Macintosh?

Hello Satya,
Actually this depends on the video codecs installed, and how well they are programmed. For example if DivX is not installed and you try to access an .avi file that is DivX encoded the properties will not show up nor will the thumbnail preview. When I wrote this post I had a collection of codecs installed(I think it was called K-Lite or something close to it) which enabled me to see thumbnail previews and video properties from Windows Explorer of .mpg and .mp4 files, and this code worked fine with these files. But I think to get .swf details you will need a library from Adobe or a 3rd party.

Hi Amgad,

This code works fine if we have .wmv and .avi video file. How about .mpg file formats which does not have these values as file properties. How can we extract similar properties of video files with different formats (say .mpg, .mp4, .swf etc).

Regards,
Satya
