 <WRAP info>
 **NOTE:** This can be filtered for only video or audio streams by adding **-select_streams v** or **-select_streams a**, respectively.
+  * **-v 0** only show fatal errors which could lead the process to crash, such as an assertion failure.
+    * This hides "info" output (version info, etc) which makes parsing easier.
+  * **-show_entries format=nb_streams** shows the number of streams.
+  * **-of csv=p=0** sets the output formatting. In this case it hides the descriptions and only shows the value.
+    * See [[https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html#Writers|FFprobe Writers]] for info on other formats including JSON.
