pretty well any media subsystem worth using will tell you the width and height, duration, etc. of the media.  Not many have explicit access to this kind of data;  you'd need special-purpose code to grovel around in movie files, mp4 files, avi files, ogg files, mxf files, rtsp SDP descriptions, mpeg-2 transport streams, .... well, you get the idea.
