(Be aware that it could technically have a different stream number, like 0.1.) The below output uses the MS Video-1. Pull the Stream #0.0: Video line and you can see the codec. To reduce the output even further, introduce sed: $ ffprobe video.mkv 2>&1 >/dev/null |grep Stream.*Video | sed -e 's/.*Video: //' -e 's/.*//'įFmpeg gives the codec too. To extract the video codec information - since ffmpeg sends information to stderr - pipe and grep it: $ ffprobe video.mkv 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep Stream.*Video Stream #0:1: Audio: vorbis, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)
To get the codec information without playing back the file, use ffprobe. This method is easier to understand but messy.
