user26767: Any easy way to find out a video's resolution & duration?
I know one way is to parse the ffprobe's output. But,

I don't know how consistent the output is among different video files.
and most importantly, I hope to avoid such parsing entirely.

I've tried

ffprobe -print_format json ...
ffprobe -print_format compact ...

But neither seems to be what they are supposed to be

-print_format format  set the output printing format (available formats are: default, compact, csv, flat, ini, json, xml)
