mediainfo

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'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
