Video::info is a module for working with video files. it can open files and determine its most likely type, then extract information such as play length, bitrate, resolution, dimensions, etc.

currently there is support for mpeg, avi, asf and riff. there is quicktime support in the upstream module which has been disabled in debian because there is no current package for openquicktime. if you would like to see support for this, please file a bug report.
