File Frame Height/Width

Post by Abraxus »

I am trying to see what quality of videos I have on my computer.

Is there anything in VBA that will show me the Frame Height & Frame Width

My ultimate goal is to get a list of folders, file names, and their frame height/width so I can see if any are poor quality.

Thanks!
Morgan

Something to get you started. Set a reference (using Tools > References...) to the Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation library.

Code: Select all

Sub Test()
    Dim strFolder As String
    Dim strFile As String
    Dim arr
    strFolder = "C:\Some Folder\" ' Change to a folder with videos
    strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.mp4")
    Do While strFile <> ""
        arr = GetHeightAndWidth(strFolder, strFile)
        Debug.Print strFile, arr(0), arr(1)
        strFile = Dir
    Loop
End Sub

Function GetHeightAndWidth(strFolder As String, strFile As String)
    Dim objShell As Shell32.Shell
    Dim objFolder As Shell32.Folder
    Dim objFile As Shell32.FolderItem
    Dim varFrameHeight, varFrameWidth
    Set objShell = New Shell32.Shell
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(strFolder)
    Set objFile = objFolder.ParseName(strFile)
    varFrameHeight = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFile, 316)
    varFrameWidth = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFile, 314)
    GetHeightAndWidth = Array(varFrameHeight, varFrameWidth)
End Function
Sample output:

PXL_20220407_083700483.mp4 1920 1080
PXL_20220419_125707926.mp4 1920 1080

There are no doubt better ways.
Best wishes,
Hans

or ... set the same reference as advised by HansV,

but then use:

Code: Select all

Public Sub test()
    Dim objShell As Shell
    Dim objFolder As Folder
        
    Set objShell = New Shell
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("D:\downloads\deletemesoon") 'folder
    
    With objFolder.ParseName("annefrankCh.mp4") 'file
        Debug.Print "Width: " & .ExtendedProperty("System.Video.FrameWidth")
        Debug.Print "Height: " & .ExtendedProperty("System.Video.FrameHeight")
    End With

End Sub

Hi
There is a lot there to get lost in at that Thread. Probably does not do any harm to read it all through. But for just the .Extended Property stuff, these would be the main posts
