Sample example for retrieving information from video using VideoInfo Object. Note VideoInfo object is available in Media Handler Pro version 4.0 or later.

// c#

MediaHandler _mhandler = new MediaHandler();

string RootPath = Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath);

_mhandler.FFMPEGPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\\ffmpeg\\ffmpeg.exe");
_mhandler.InputPath = RootPath + "\\contents\\original";
_mhandler.FileName = "sample.mpg";

// get information from video as VideoInfo Object.
VideoInfo info = _mhandler.Get_Info();
// check whether no error occured while reading video
if (info.ErrorCode > 0)
{
Response.Write("Video processing failed, Error code " + info.ErrorCode + " generated");
return;
}

// get information from VideoInfo Ojbect and print on screen.
StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
str.Append("Video Codec= " + info.Vcodec + "<br />");
str.Append("Audio Codec= " + info.Acodec + "<br />");
str.Append("Video Bitrate= " + info.Video_Bitrate + "<br />");
str.Append("Audio Bitrate= " + info.Audio_Bitrate + "<br />");
str.Append("Audio Sampling Rate= " + info.SamplingRate + "<br />");
str.Append("Audio Channel= " + info.Channel + "<br />");
str.Append("Width= " + info.Width + "<br />");
str.Append("Height= " + info.Height + "<br />");
str.Append("Video FrameRate= " + info.FrameRate + "<br />");
str.Append("Video Duration= " + info.Duration + "<br />");

str.Append("Video Duration in Seconds= " + info.Duration_Sec + "<br />");
Response.Write(str.ToString());

 

Video Codec= mpeg1video
Audio Codec= mp2
Video Bitrate= 104857 kb/s
Audio Bitrate= 112 kb/s
Audio Sampling Rate= 48000 Hz
Audio Channel= stereo
Width= 288
Height= 240
Video FrameRate=
Video Duration= 00:00:40.17
Video Duration in Seconds= 41

 

Note: If there is no information retrieved from video, it will be appear as "" empty means information is not available like in above case "FrameRate" value is "".
