I want to determine stream size(not the video size) and using the following ffprobe command to make this work
ffprobe -v error -count_packets -select_streams a:0 -show_entries stream=size my_input_file_name
But this is not working, and producing no output, Can anybody point the issue with this command
Perform a null mux.
ffmpeg -i input -map 0:a:0 -c copy -f null -
The final readout will have that info:
video:0kB audio:2684kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: unknown
For a simple and immediate way of obtaining detailed info about a media file, try mediainfo utility. It will specify the video/audio stream sizes too.
mediainfo MyFilename.mp4 for basic info
mediainfo --fullscan MyFilename.mp4 for more detailed info
Output example:
