How can I get the resolution (width and height) for a video file from a linux command line?

Question

I\'ve been digging through the mplayer/mencoder and ffmpeg documentation and I can\'t seem to come up with anything. I\'m not especially picky as to the out

If you are just interested in the resolution:

ffprobe -v error -of flat=s=_ -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=height,width video.mkv

It works also on Windows. This is running right now on my PC to build an index of all files:

find //Q1207/Film -size +10000k -print -a -exec ./ffprobe.exe -v error -of flat=s=_ -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=height,width \{\} \; > //Q1207/Film/index.txt
