Using ffprobe to check audio-only files

Question

Is there an ffprobe command I can run to see if an mov file that I have is audio-only or contains video as well? I have various mov files, some of which are audio dubs and s

Answer 1

You can output stream information in JSON or XML:

ffprobe -show_streams -print_format json input.mov

You'll get an array of streams with a codec_type attribute with values like audio, video etc.
