Video Metadata Question

[malonn]

Alright. Progress has been made. I have discovered that the EBML format used by MKV's starts at the beginning of the file (don't laugh, I'm the most noob of noobs). So, I have been able to locate the EBML starter using the following code:

with open('D:\\Rampage_t01.mkv', 'rb') as f:
    cur_size = os.stat('D:\\Rampage_t01.mkv').st_size
    w = 0
    p = f.read(1)
    pp = ord(p)
    print(struct.unpack('>L', p + f.read(3))[0])

This returns 440786851 or 1A45DFA3 in hex, which is what all Matroska EBML code starts with. I didn't know that the info (it makes sense to me though) about the MKV would be found at the beginning of the file. Now, I believe, I just need to walk through the MKV until I find the ID I'm interested in and read it's info. That's the plan; a long way to go, but it's a plan.

So, that's that. I'll post back as I make progress.
