Like such:[code=xml]$ ./tt.sh /home/JHON/Videos/Ala_sinistra.avi \| tail -1[/code]The [b]tail -1[/b] indicates that you want to print the last [b]1[/b] line. You could make it any number you want.

You need the redirection, I think ffmpeg uses the standard error stream for it's output eg. rc=`ffmpeg -v 0 -i test-media/Atomic_Kitten.mpg /tmp/Atomic_Kitten_1.avi 2>&1 \| grep "frame="` echo $rc or ffmpeg -v 0 -i test-media/Atomic_Kitten.mpg /tmp/Atomic_Kitten_1.avi 2>&1 \| grep "frame= In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates
