Switch from mediainfo to ffprobe #532

Closed zoriya closed 5 months ago

zoriya commented 5 months ago

Missing steps:

~~Convert language from ISO-639-2 to IETF BCP 47 (mediainfo used to do this for us)~~
~~Cope with https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3392 (ffprobe does not report bitrate with h264 inside an mkv)~~
~~Check that RFC-6381 handling is right for all codecs~~
~~Re-enable mediainfo caching (disabled for testing)~~

Motivation for this change: Mediainfo has a flunky handling of utf8 strings so having a filename (or metadata) not in ascii could lead to issue.
