Description
It seems the swfheader library used to parse info from swf files does not handle flv movies, and thus can't extract video dimensions.
I'm not sure there is a lightweitght php lib that would do that, but ffmpeg does - would be cool to use it if available ?

Hmm, it probably can't qualify as 'lightweight', but it seems getID3 does parse flv headers...
Maybe Asset_embed could plug with http://drupal.org/project/getid3 ?

Here is a patch that does this, depending on the getid3 module (which manages the library itself). I had a go at updating the instructions in INSTALL.txt. README.txt has some out-of-date and misleading (since it is not actually used) getid3 install instructions, and I think should just be deleted.
