 ''Video-meta'' is a Perl script by Mike Schilli that displays attributes of a video file, helpful in "video forensics", when you need to know what codec and frame rate a video was shot in, quickly and easily. ''Video-meta'' invokes the ''Video::FrameGrab'' module, which in turn invokes **mplayer**.
-Video-meta achieves the same results as the ''mediainfo'' tools (''mediainfo'' and **mediainfo-gui''), which are included in the default Slackermedia queue file, so strictly speaking this is doubling up on functionality. You may find it useful, however, since it gives //less// information than other tools, in an easy-to-read format, and tends to favour the most useful and common information rather than every last detail that 90% of the time you will not need.
