	   FMT is "[xxx;]Text", where xxx can be any one of General, Video, Audio, Text, Chapter, Image, or Menu. Text can be the template text,
	   or a filename in the form of file:///path

	   See --Info-Parameters for available parameters in the text. Parameters must be surrounded by "%".

       --Info-Parameters
	   Display list of --Inform parameters

       --Language=raw

       --LogFile=LogFile
	   Save the output in LogFile

EXAMPLES

   Display information about a video file
	$ mediainfo foo.mkv

   Display aspect ratio
	$ mediainfo --Inform="Video;%DisplayAspectRatio%" foo.mkv
	$ mediainfo --Inform="Video;file://Video.txt" foo.mkv

       Both forms are equivalent if Video.txt contains:
	%DisplayAspectRatio%

   Display aspect ration and audio format
	$ mediainfo --Inform="file://Text.txt foo.mkv

       If Text.txt contains:

       - "Video;%DisplayAspectRatio%"
	   Then the display aspect ratio is printed out.

       - "Audio;%Format%"
	   Then the audio format is printed out.

NAME

       Audio::File - Audio file abstraction library

SYNOPSIS

	 use Audio::File;
	 my $file = Audio::File->new( "foo.bar" );

	 print "The ". $file->type() ."-file ". $file->name
		       ." is ". int $file->audio_properties->length() ." seconds long.
";

	 print "It's interpreted by ". $file->tag->artist()
		       ." and called ". $file->tag->title() ".
";

DESCRIPTION

       Audio::File abstracts a single audio file, independant of its format. Using this module you can access a files meta-info like title, album,
       etc. as well as the files audio-properties like its length and bitrate.

       Currently only the formats flac, ogg vorbis and mp3 are supported, but support for other formats may be easily added.

METHODS

   new
	 $file = Audio::File->new( "foobar.flac" );

       Constructor. It takes the filename of the your audio file as its only argument and returns an instance of Audio::File::${Type} if the
       corresponding file type is supported. The file type will be determined using the file extension.  Currently flac, ogg and mp3 are supported
       but new formats may be added easily by creating a Audio::File::${Type} that inherits from Audio::File::Type, which is the base class for
       all file type classes.

       The methods and behaviour of the returned are documented in Audio::File::Type.

TODO

       o   Add possibility to change file and its tags.

       o   better (easier) interface?

       o   user shouldn't be forced to use Audio::File if he only want's the files tag or audio properties.

       o   Add possibility to access raw audio data (Audio::File::Data)

	   That could be done via Audio::Data or equivalent.
