NAME

       MP4Info - Return a textual summary of an mp4 file

SYNTAX

       #include <mp4.h>

       char* MP4Info(
            MP4FileHandle hFile,
            MP4TrackId trackId = MP4_INVALID_TRACK_ID
       );

ARGUMENTS

       hFile
              Specifies the mp4 file to which the operation applies.

       trackId
              Specifies  a  track for which a summary is desired. If the value
              is MP4_INVALID_TRACK_ID, the summary info  is  created  for  all
              tracks in the mp4 file.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  success,  a malloc’ed string containing the summary info. Upon an
       error, NULL.

DESCRIPTION

       MP4Info provides a string  that  contains  a  textual  summary  of  the
       contents  of an mp4 file. This includes the track id’s, the track type,
       and track specific information. For example, for a video  track,  media
       encoding, image size, frame rate, and bitrate are summarized.

       Note  that  the  returned  string  is  malloc’ed, so it is the caller’s
       responsibility to free() the string to prevent memory leaks. Also  note
       that  the  returned  string contains newlines and tabs which may or may
       not be desirable.

       The following is an example of the output of MP4Info():
