[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#665763: video.sh defaults

The new /usr/lib/mc/ext.d/video.sh uses mplayer for displaying movie
information (view). What mplayer outputs is rather unsorted and confusing.

I would suggest to use something like mediainfo. However, that one has
the problem that it also gives out way too much information when used
without --inform. I did some avinfo-lookalike csv-file for mediainfo,
if this is of any use for you, see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695431#10
(at least it will give you some idea what's possible).

Cheers
Seegras
