What are "layers"? What is the meaning of `ao`, `bm`, `ddd`, `ind`, ...? — llogan, Jan 13 '21 at 18:24
@AbhayKoradiya Not possible. MP4 does not contain "layers". It can only contain video, audio, and subtitles. Not distinct images, backgrounds, etc. — llogan, Jun 24 '21 at 16:14

You can print the video information in a json file using below command

    ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams "input.mp4" >output.json

you can see the sample output from this link let me know if you have anything to know more

this command not exporting json as above. It just print media information. – Abhay Koradiya Jun 23 '21 at 04:40
I think your question is not clear to me. Can you add some more insights to your question – Ariful Jannat Arif Jun 24 '21 at 03:52

Use ffprobe with -print_format json and > to redirect output to a file:

ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams "video.mp4" > ffprobe_output.json

Note that > is a a Linux program, not a function of ffprobe.

This code works. Instead of downvoting, show us your output! You can download this test video https://samples.ffmpeg.org/mov/canon_6d/mvi_9112.mov and try it. – drake7 Jun 19 '21 at 07:38
