  Can you dynamically get a video file’s frame size?

  Posted by Marco Solorio on November 17, 2006 at 6:36 am

  As usual, I’ve searched the net with no results.

  Is it possible to get the frame size of a video (both QuickTime and WMV formats) via PHP or any other means? I need to dynamically pass the width and height parameters into OBJECT and EMBED tags. Passing variables to those tags is a piece of cake… it’s *acquiring* those variables from the file itself that poses the problem. I can do it with a JPEG/GIF image, but not with a video file. Sigh.

  BTW (if you’re reading this, Curtis) going the PHP route for this project has proven to work far better than I could have ever imagined!

  Thanks,
