For those video oriented of you who inspect our _files.xml directly, or use a metadata API (JSON) for items, you’ll likely be pleased to know that for all new items, as well as items that update (eg: review posted, metadata changes, rederives), that:
we now detect and stamp into each video file fields for
width
height
length (duration in seconds)
here is an example file listing (in JSON results) demonstrating:
{“name”:”anamorphic.mov”,
“source”:”original”,
“format”:”h.264″,
“length”:”3.03″,
“height”:”720″,
“width”:”1280″,
“mtime”:”1355278126″,
“size”:”375646″,
“md5″:”94a0b479869ab7ee997b36b45d9edb7a”,
“crc32″:”0b8e4162”,
“sha1″:”c21b65ee8e9153f0812d7397fe89224d6f3f80fd”}
we will even attempt to “correct” the width in the case of “anamorphic” videos (eg: the pixels are “rectangular” and not “square”) to the scaled width in square pixel terms (like the one above)
cheers!
