how to read a quicktime header with python


I want to get the original creation date of quicktime videos created on my Canon 60d for use in a python script I've written to help me sort my movies. How can I get at the information stored in quicktime headers with python?

If there's nothing existing in vanilla python to help me, I thought I might give this a whirl.


Solution

  • videoParser works well. I remember trying it out. If for any reason that does not satisfy your needs, try this http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hachoir-metadata/1.2.1
