Get Quicktime Video Info

Is there a way to get QuickTime video information? (In googling it, I found one cl option for QT that was broken.)

I am looking to find pasp, length, audio channels, audio assignment, clap, and an assortment of other properties that is often found using the program "Dumpster". Most of this information is unavailable using ffmpeg.

To open it up, launch Quicktime by double-clicking on your video on Finder, and once it's open click Cmd + I and the inspector will show up: As you can see, the FPS is written down and now you can go ahead and change the Framerate on your DAW when you import the video.

What does a QuickTime file contain?

File format that wraps video, audio, and other bitstreams. This description is concerned with QuickTime as a video wrapper (generally with a synchronized audio stream), called "movie" files by Apple, and as a sound wrapper, especially as used by Apple's iTunes music service.

Using an QuickTime sample from Apple site I can even get the ouput in a nicely JSON format:

ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format sample_iTunes.mov 
{
    "format": {
        "filename": "sample_iTunes.mov",
        "nb_streams": 2,
        "format_name": "mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2",
        "format_long_name": "QuickTime / MOV",
        "start_time": "0.000000",
        "duration": "85.500000",
        "size": "3284257",
        "bit_rate": "307298",
        "tags": {
            "major_brand": "qt  ",
            "minor_version": "537199360",
            "compatible_brands": "qt  ",
            "creation_time": "2005-10-17 22:54:32"
        }
    }
}

I've used ffprobe version 1.0.7

Mediainfo is a nice utility, http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en .It will give some of the info you need. Also look at ffprobe, It takes options like -show_streams and -show_frames to get more details.
