FFprobe is a simple multimedia streams analyzer with a command-line interface based on the FFmpeg project libraries.
It may be used to print informations about the format and header of a multimedia file or stream, the multimedia streams and each single packet or frame.
FFprobe may be used both as a standalone application or in combination with a textual filter, which is supposed to perform more sophisticated elaboration (e.g. statistics elaboration or plotting).
