Ffprobe On Ffmpeg

This document provides instructions for using ffprobe and related tools to analyze video frames and generate a graph of frame sizes over time. It explains how to use ffprobe to extract frame details from a video file, preprocess the data with tools like grep, sed and paste, and then plot the results in a graph using gnuplot. The goal is to make it easier to visualize frame encoding statistics for video optimization.
