I have several videos in a folder;

~/Downloads/movie1.mkv

~/Downloads/movie2.mkv

~/Downloads/movie3.mkv

I would like to extract the bitrate for each file, and output the data into a single text file, or output list which I can copy and paste into a text file.

I have installed ffmpeg.

So, for example, the output of fffmpeg -i movie1.mkv is;

Metadata:

    encoder         : libebml v1.2.0 + libmatroska v1.1.0

    creation_time   : 2011-04-09T18:18:05.000000Z

  Duration: 00:04:27.71, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 10698 kb/s

    Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 1920x1038, SAR 1:1 DAR 320:173, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc (default)

    Metadata:

      title           : movie1

    Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: dts (DTS), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), fltp, 1536 kb/s (default)

    Metadata:

      title           : DTS-ES 5.1 @ 1509 Kbps

    Stream #0:2(eng): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 192 kb/s

    Metadata:

      title           : Commentary

    Stream #0:3(eng): Subtitle: subrip

    Stream #0:4(eng): Subtitle: subrip

The "bitrate: 10698 kb/s" is the crucial part I am after here.

Lets pretend all three movies have the same bitrate.

I would like to extract the bitrate information from all three videos, and have them output as;

movie1.mkv 10698

movie2.mkv 10698

movie3.mkv 10698

How would I go about extracting and outputing this information in bulk?

I've been trying a combination of finding by file name, ffmpeg, and then | to grep. e.g ; find . -name "*.mkv" -exec ffmpeg -i "${1%.mkv}" | grep "bitrate:"

Current attempts;

1. The command; ffmpeg -i movie1.mkv 2>&1 | grep bitrate | sed 's/bitrate: (.*), kb/1/g'

Returns;

Duration: 00:04:27.71, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 10698 kb/s

2. The command; find . -name "*.mkv" -exec ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=bit_rate -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "${~/Downloads/1%.mkv}" ';'

Returns

~/Downloads/1%.mkv: No such file or directory

~/Downloads/1%.mkv: No such file or directory

~/Downloads/1%.mkv: No such file or directory

I feel that I'm close here, and that there's just something wrong with the find and recalling the output of find into ffprobe.

To screen:

find . -name "*.mkv" -print0 | xargs -0 -i{} sh -c " echo -n '{} ' && ffmpeg -i '{}' 2>&1 | sed -n -e 's/^.*bitrate: //p' "

To file result.txt:

find . -name "*.mkv" -print0 | xargs -0 -i{} sh -c " echo -n '{} ' && ffmpeg -i '{}' 2>&1 | sed -n -e 's/^.*bitrate: //p' " > result.txt

You will see in file result.txt:

somefile1.mkv 1788 kb/s

somefile2.mkv 1681 kb/s

...

Formatted output example:

find . -name "*.mkv" -print0 | xargs -0 -i{} sh -c " echo -n 'Filename: {}, Bitrate is: ' && ffmpeg -i '{}' 2>&1 | sed -n -e 's/^.*bitrate: //p' " > result.txt

You will see in file result.txt:

Filename: somefile1.mkv, Bitrate is: 1788 kb/s

Filename: somefile2.mkv, Bitrate is: 1681 kb/s
