   Thanks for
your advice. Unfortunately this seems to require a graphical
 machine, but I'm trying to run this on a headless fileserver that has
 all my media.

 [jonathan@zeus ~]$ mplayer -frame 0 -identify movie.avi
 Creating config file: /home/jonathan/.mplayer/config
 Unknown option on the command line: -frame
 Error parsing option on the command line: -frame
 MPlayer SVN-r29701-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team

 Any other ideas? 
 The option is -frames, not -frame, and you can use the null output 
 devices to run this on a headless machine.

 mplayer -identify -frames 0 -vo null -ao null movie.avi

Thanks Maarten. I also found an app in the Fedora repo called 
themonospot which does what I want.

Cheers,
Jonathan
