Hi and welcome to LQ! On the command line you can try
Code:

file name_of_video_file
See man file for details.

This looks like "metadata"---similar to what you would find in the EXIF data in an image file. I don't think the "file" utilitiy will see this.
Do some googling using keywords like "metadata" and the file format of the file.

Hi, pixellany! It actually does, perhaps not all the information included in the metadata section, but it could be a good starting point and a fast way to check the video format, e.g.
Code:

# file video.avi
video.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)

Cheers!

mplayer displays this information when it loads a file, although there's a lot of other info you have to wade through to get to it!
