How to print file info with FFprobe?
Hello,

I have many mp4 files inside a folder and I need to write stream info of each files.
Below script creates txt files but inside of each file is empty.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
for video in *.mp4;
do
	base="${video%.mp4}"
	ffprobe -i "$base".mp4  > "$base".txt;
done
exit 0

When I run similar code without for loop like
Code:
ffprobe -i filename.mp4

it prints out desired output.
Maybe I should pipe the output...

I'd like to know how it should be done
Many thanks for your help.

Boris
