This section provides a tutorial example on how to use the FFmpeg 'ffprobe' command to print out file properties of multimedia data files.
After played with the "ffplay" command, let's try the "ffprobe" command from the FFmpeg package. "ffprobe" command should print out information from a multimedia data file. Let's use the MPEG4 file, Tony_reel_2009_512kb.mp4, downloaded in the previous tutorial as an example.
