C/C++ program to read an AVI file

[samantha katam]

Well i am pretty much new to C++. I need a C/C++ program that can run in Linux to read an AVI file and print out all the attributes of the file ( e.g. frame rate, video width, height, .... ) and separate the video and audio data into two files. If not Please refer me to a site where i can get sample codes.

It would be great if you can respond quicker.

Thanks Sam

This is actually a pretty tall order. Can't you just use transcode?

avidemux2 can probably do what you want. Also, if you run mplayer on video, it prints a synopsis of the video program(s) in the stream.

I burn DVDs frequently (ironically, because my NTSC-out video card has copy protection so I can't just output straight video to my wireless TV link after I "tivo" stuff to disk from late-night shows). The primary stream-processing tools I use are mencoder, ffmpeg, and "tovid".
