Newbie / simple question

Hi all

Can someone please point in the direction of a simple script that will allow me to open an avi file ( avisource ) then simply output the height and width of the clip to a text file, plus any other usful info ie fps.

Thx in advance

@echo off

set TMPAVS="__temp__.avs"
set TMPTXT="__temp__.txt"
set AVS2AVI="avs2avi.exe"

REM create the avs file

echo source = avisource("%1") > %TMPAVS%
echo return source.writefilestart(%TMPTXT%, string(framecount(source))).trim(0,1) >> %TMPAVS%

REM launch avs2avi

%AVS2AVI% %TMPAVS% -p 2 -c null -q -o n > nul

REM read the txt file

type %TMPTXT%

REM clean created file

del %TMPAVS%
del %TMPTXT%It's a batch file. You'll need avisynth and avs2avi. It returns the framecount, but can easily be adapted to display width, height, framerate, colorspace.

Please you can appropriate title (rule 9). Thanks!

Many thanks for the reply. I've been having a rethink and maybe avisynth is a bit ott for what I'm wanting to do. I'm basically writing a perl script to create batch files for format conversion. Very simple but I need a way of running <something> against an avi file to get the frame sizes. I could even use perl directly but I fear this may be a little tricky ( unless anyone knows of a suitable module ). I know this is going slight off this forum but I'm basically after some sort of command-line-tool that will dump out avi information to stdout.

Thx again
