How can I get the resolution (width and height) for a video file in Nautilus/Caja linux file manager?

I have read this How can I get the resolution (width and height) for a video file from a linux command line? but that's for command line.

I would like to know how to get the video information in the file manager so I could sort by video size using the file manager GUI.

Attached is a screen shot showing the available options... video rez/size is NOT included.

I'm running Linux Mint 13. Maybe a script that runs in the background that pulls the vid. size info and pushes it to the file manager columns?

Here's the screen shot:
