Quick answer: Try usingexiftoolorffmpeg -i. Each should work but each presents the details differently and with different depth.

exiftool or ffmpeg -i. Each should work but each presents the details differently and with different depth.– JakeGould

You can use mediainfo to output majority of the information anyone would require of a video file; at least I would imagine so. Simply:
mediainfo "<inputfile>"
I once had to frequently setup ffmpeg commands in a shell script setup to run while away, and a zenity window made this alot easier as well. I used:
mediainfo "<inputfile>" | zenity --text-info
So then I could hightlight the info and just drag and drop it to nano, on the terminal window directly. Worked great.
