Get-VideoInfo.ps1

Extracts and displays video metadata from the comment tag in a video file's format metadata. The displayed fields are driven by Get-VideoInfo.ini (display name → JSON field name). The script also probes the video stream with ffprobe and reports the actual encoded resolution and frame rate alongside the metadata when they differ. Fields mapped to frames_count in the INI are always read directly from ffprobe rather than from the JSON metadata.

Parameters

• -Video (required): Path to input video file. Supports Windows wildcards (* and ?) to match multiple files (e.g., *.mp4, video?.mov). When wildcards are used, metadata is extracted and displayed for each matching file sequentially, with separators between files.
• -Full: Output the parsed comment metadata as JSON (printed before the formatted block)

Real vs metadata values

The script reads two pieces of information from ffprobe's video stream and uses them to enrich the formatted output:

• Resolution: any field whose value matches the WxH pattern (e.g. the metadata resolution) is shown with the actual encoded resolution appended when it differs — for example Resolution: 720x1280 (real: 704x1280). WanGP / LTX-2 commonly record the requested resolution while the file is encoded at a slightly different size after the model's internal padding/cropping.
• Frame rate / duration: the duration of the video_length field is always computed from ffprobe's real frame rate (r_frame_rate of the first video stream). The JSON metadata's force_fps is intentionally ignored because some WanGP/LTX presets store non-numeric mode markers there (e.g. "control"). If ffprobe doesn't return a usable frame rate, the script falls back to 24 fps.
• Actual frame count: the frames_count field is always read directly from ffprobe (nb_read_frames of the first video stream) rather than from the JSON comment metadata. This gives the true encoded frame count of the file. Duration is computed using ffprobe's real frame rate, falling back to 24 fps if unavailable.
