Coming from a linux background. I was just wondering that the best way to install avprobe on OSX is?
I tried installing libav: http://libav.org/download.html but this seems to use avconf. I have a script that was written by someone else that depends on avprobe being executed directly.
Google doesn't really help. I need to be able to run avprobe directly.
Thanks

I think you downloaded the wrong thing. Libav is intended to be baked into software and doesn't really have standalone executables. A related project to libav (related in that they forked a while back) is ffmpeg.
The package you want is ffmpeg, avprobe comes with it.
You can download precompiled OSX binaries here, http://ffmpegmac.net/ or compile them yourself from here http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#releases
