I have a perl script that amongst other things transcodes video files, and when doing so sets some of the metadata for the new files using:
Code:
-title string       set the title
-timestamp time     set the timestamp
-author string      set the author
-copyright string   set the copyright
-comment string     set the comment
This data shows up when the files are played in say quicktime, but how can I get this data using ffmpeg or something else to return it to a perl script. ffmpeg only seems to be able to "set" this data and not display or read it back in. Can mplayer or something else be used to view this metadata?
