Bulk Rename Utility

I'd like to be able to prepend some MP4 and MKV files with their resolution height, but I'm not sure if this is possible...

The result would be something like...
[480] My SD Video.mp4
[720] My HD Video.mp4
[1080] My FHD Video.mkv
[1440] My QHD Video.mkv
and so on.

Is there some method I can use with this utility to find the height in pixels of the video and prepend it to the existing file name?

Basic idea would be...

get height
get filename

combine height & filename in a format useful to "Named Pairs"


Some utilities to get height.

Getting video dimension from ffmpeg -i

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


{pseudo-code}

Code: Select all

ffprobe.exe  -v error  -show_entries stream=height  -of default=noprint_wrappers=1   "My SD Video.mp4"


That gives you:

Code: Select all

height=360


Then you'd have to parse that to get it in to the format you want.

s/.*=/[/
s/$/] /
Gives you (with a space appended to the ] ):

Code: Select all

[360]


Combine that with the filename:

Code: Select all

[360] My SD Video.mp4


namedpairvideofiles.TXT

Code: Select all

My SD Video.mp4|[360] My SD Video.mp4


That could be automated... but you'd have to work out the details...
