Detecting bad capture, detecting blank screen or static in video files

[dj22]

Heya, stumbed upon this place on a recent dive into video capturing.

I am looking to see if there is a program or command line to verify video content after it is recorded. Basically I want to find out if the capture hardware or feed failed such as if there is a black screen or static the entire time.

I am trying to automate capture and production of certain feeds and am trying to find a way to verify if the file is good before displaying 10 mins of black screen if the adapter/feed has failed.

Any info would be great!! Thx!

Don't know of anything that can tell you if you have captured static or a constant blue or black screen. You might be able to use comskip to help you detect and remove dropouts in some cases
