qt_info

SYNOPSIS

qt_info [movie]

DESCRIPTION

qt_info is a command line tool that sets or displays various information about a QuickTime movie. Most of this information is available -- in one form or another -- via QuickTime Player. qt_info prints the information in a somewhat script-friendly format, if that's your trip. It also shows what I considered to be the relevant features all at once, with no tabbing between the different QuickTime Player panels.

Furthermore, you can use options to set values for the movie annotations.
