I would like to read a resolution for a video file with Tcl. Apparently it is not part of file attributes. Could not immediately find anything with google.

Is there any utility for this?

did someone ever utilize the magics database for the unix "file" command 
for tcl?

uwe@ben:~> file *avi
xyz_123.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 720 x 576, ~24 fps, video: 
XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)

If you really want the nitty gritty "transcode -H" would be useful.

no idea if transcode is availabale on windows.

The windows access to system stuff should provide something on that 
platform.
