That's why I wrote "like" – I am sure you were able to interpret the meaning of the ellipsis in this example. > For simpler parsing, use a different writer than csv. I would recommend > flat. That seems to be a custom format, so parsing is inherently more complex, and there's no support for simply loading this in whatever tool you have for data analysis (Excel, MATLAB, R, Python, …). Hence the usefulness of semantically meaningfully structured CSV. I guess I could live with replacing the "flat" output dots with commas, and the equal sign with another comma, but that's bound to break with some metadata value contents. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
