![]() Figure 3 shows an 8K file which is why the bits/pixel value is a relatively low 0.039. MediaInfo in Tree view.īits/pixel is another critical data point, which as the title suggests, shows the amount of data allocated to each pixel in the video. I’ve just started working with HDR files where information like color primaries and mastering display color primaries are absolutely essential to understanding critical parameters of the file you’re about to encode and the files that you’ve produced. Most of the information is self-explanatory, like Format (codec), profile, duration, bit rate, width, height, frame rate, and bit depth. There are three major sections, General, which shows container format, duration, file size, overall bitrate, and other data Video, which details video characteristics, and Audio, which does the same for audio. ![]() The MediaInfo Tooltip.įigure 3 shows the data presented by MediaInfo. You can open multiple instances of MediaInfo, and once an instance is open, you can change files by dragging a different file onto the interface.īack in the preferences window, it’s also nice to be able to hover your pointer over a media file in Explorer and load the Explorer Tooltip, which identifies the container format, data rate, resolution, frame rate, codec, and codec-related information like profile (Figure 2). Most relevant is to enable the Explorer extension, which allows you to right-click a media file and open the file within MediaInfo. The three checked boxes on the right are checked by default. I prefer the Tree view shown in Figure 3 and use the HTML view shown in Figure 4 frequently to view encoding details-more on that below. Here you choose your default view out of the about 15 different views for the data. Once you install MediaInfo on Windows, you should explore the preferences that you access from the Options menu (Figure 1). It’s available for download here, and there are versions for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and many other operating systems. MediaInfo is a video analysis tool that displays the most significant data points regarding a video file, including resolution, data rate, codec, bit depth, frame rate, duration, etc. Here are two free Windows tools that I couldn’t live without. It is Open-Source software which means that end users and developers have freedom to study, to improve and to redistribute the program ( BSD-style license).Streaming producers need tools to explore different encoding options and verify their work. Localisation capability (for which volunteers are needed - please contact us!).Internationalisation: display any language on any operating system.Integrate with the shell (drag 'n' drop, and Context menu).Graphical user interface, command line interface, or library (.dll/.so/.dylib) versions available.Export information as text, CSV, HTML.View information in different formats (text, sheet, tree, HTML.).Subtitles: CEA-608, CEA-708, DTVCC, SCTE-20, SCTE-128, ATSC/53, CDP, DVB Subtitle, Teletext, SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI.Audio: MPEG Audio (including MP3), AC3, DTS, AAC, Dolby E, AES3, FLAC.Tags: Id3v1, Id3v2, Vorbis comments, APE tags.Container: MPEG-4, QuickTime, Matroska, AVI, MPEG-PS (including unprotected DVD), MPEG-TS (including unprotected Blu-ray), MXF, GXF, LXF, WMV, FLV, Real.Chapters: count of chapters, list of chapters.Text: format, codec id, language of subtitle.Audio: format, codec id, sample rate, channels, bit depth, language, bit rate.Video: format, codec id, aspect, frame rate, bit rate, color space, chroma subsampling, bit depth, scan type, scan order.Container: format, profile, commercial name of the format, duration, overall bit rate, writing application and library, title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration.Please donate to support further development The MediaInfo data display includes:
