FLV Info : duration, width, height, videodatarate, framerate, videocodecid, stereo

This FLV Info tool enables you to view embedded MetaData without needing to play the video. Just like the SWFInfo tool I blogged about last year, using this tool you select your FLV file using the FileReference class and then you can view all you need to know about your Flash video : duration, width, height, videodatarate, framerate, videocodecid and stereo values.

It works by converting the loaded FLV data into a ByteArray and then searching for the string values associated with each metadata value. Then it reads either a double-precision (64-bit) floating-point number from the ByteArray, or in the case of 'stereo', a Boolean value. Also it will tell you how the videocodecid number translates into an understandable string value (i.e. VP6, H263 or AVC).

    Hi papierli, I’m not sure what you are after but suspect it might be this: http://blog.sitedaniel.com/2009/11/swf-info-width-height-swf-version-actionscript-version-framerate/
