I am trying to find the codec used to compress a movie. I am sure if I need to somehow use CMFormatDescription and get a CMVideoCodecType key. I am stuck as to how to get past the metadata array. Any ideas on how to retrieve the codec?
AVURLAsset* movieAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:sourceMovieURL options:nil];
NSArray *tracks = [movieAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
if ([tracks count] != 0) {
AVAssetTrack *videoTrack = [tracks objectAtIndex:0];
//
// Let's get the movie's meta data
//
// Find the codec
NSArray *metadata = [movieAsset commonMetadata];
}
