I have often problems reading AVI file with my TV dvd player if they are not divx or xvid (DX50,i.e., is not readable).

I'd like to make a fast script to recognize the video codec of these files before burn it on cdrom/dvd.

The command : ffmpeg -i file.avi

give the "container" of the video stream (mpeg4,mpeg2,etc), not the codec.

Any hint?

Thanks
