MediaInfo supplies technical and tag information about a video or audio file. MediaInfo provides details about a both video and audio details, including tag information. Links are provided to Web locations for download of most video codecs and applications. File data is exportable in a variety of formats including CSV, text and HTML. Note: MediaInfo tries to install sponsored OpenCandy software during installation, make sure to cancel that before continuing.
What can I do with it?
- Read many video and audio file formats
- Different methods of viewing information (text, sheet, tree, HTML...)
- You can customize these views
- Exporting information as text, CSV, HTML...
- Graphical Interface, or Command Line, or DLL
- Integration with MS-Windows shell (drag "n" drop, and Context menu)
- Internationalization: any language display on any version of your Operating System
- Localization capability (but volunteers needed)
What information can I get from MediaInfo?
- General: title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration...
- Video: codec, aspect, fps, bitrate...
- Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate...
- Text: language of subtitle
- Chapters: number of chapters, list of chapters
What format (container) does MediaInfo support?
- Video: MKV, OGM, AVI, DivX, WMV, QuickTime, Real, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DVD (VOB)... (Codecs: DivX, XviD, MSMPEG4, ASP, H.264, AVC...)
- Audio: OGG, MP3, WAV, RA, AC3, DTS, AAC, M4A, AU, AIFF...
- Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI...
What"s new in this version:
- + DTS Neural Audio: display of DTS Neural Audio descriptor information (matrix encoded channels count and position), sponsored by Numericable
- + FFV1: version, bit depth, color space, chroma subsampling, versions 0 to 3, sponsored by NOA Audio Solutions
- + HuffYUV: version, bit depth, color space, chroma subsampling, versions 1 to 3, sponsored by NOA Audio Solutions
- + PDF: basic detection (goal is to detect PDF/A profile)
- + HLS: support of encrypted streams (key must be in FileName.FileExt.key or provided via the library API)
- + CDP: using CDP service descriptor for the list of 708 services + language information
- + MXF: showing the real bit depth ("Quantization bits"); the count of bits stored in the file is in a new field "Stored bit depth" if it differs
- + MXF: Audio "frame rate" (how PCM content is split in packets) information
- + MXF: Audio block alignment byte size (hidden by default)
- + VC-3: adding the commercial name "DNxHD" + bitrate class
- + MXF: SMPTE ST 377-4 (MXF Multichannel Audio Labeling Framework)
- + MXF: "ChannelLayoutID" new field (hidden by default) containing the MXF Channel Assignment Label
- + Wave64: Duration
- + CDP: frame rate
- + IMF: improvements (still work in progress)
- + QuickTime: ia13 CodecID
- + CDP: using ccsvcinfo_section() for service presence and language information
- + MXF/CDP: law rating (from CEA-608 XDS) information added (other containers were already supported)
- + CEA-608: Program name information
- + BMP: support of OS/2 headers
- + HLS: com.apple.streaming.transportStreamTimestamp support
- + ISM: ISMT / text (TTML) streams support
- + MXF: detection of buggy BlockAlign from some muxers, so PCM bit depth is correctly detected despite the buggy metadata
- + HEVC: library name of some encoding libraries
- + MPEG-2 Video: picture structure for interlaced content (interlaced content can have a frame structure)
- + HLS: support of some encrypted files (AES-128 with default IV and per segment), key is provided by the command line --File_Encryption_Key=(Base64 data)
- + HEVC: adding support of x265 library name and x265 encoding settings
- + ProRes: more details about ProRes in AVI or Matroska
- + DV: support of AVd1 CodecID
- + CMake: scripts improvements, thanks to Ivan Romanov
- + Matroska: file name of attachments, thanks to Marshall
- x HEVC: some streams with VUI were not parsed
- x MPEG Video: was not correctly handling 1000:1001 frame rates and NDF time codes combination during frame count computing
- x MPEG Video: was not correctly detecting the time stamp of the first frame in case of closed GOP with first frame not the I-frame
- x XDCAM: information about the MXF header presence was not provided if MOV header has a glbl atom
- x Some specific C++11 code is removed for full compatibility with older C++
- x MXF: Time codes values were buggy in case of MXF with pre-charge ("Origin" not 0)
- x MPEG-4 Visual: wrong analysis in case on video_object_layer_shape not set to regular
- x MPEG-4/MOV: trying to display the summary differently when there is a difference between container and raw stream channels count information (long term method to be discussed)
- x Non-Unicode version was not building anymore
- x DyLib: trying to have a better support of pure C compilers
