The codec used by a particular video is now very easy to find using the useful application named MediaInfo.
MediaInfo is a quick and effective tool developed to offer detailed information about the multimedia documents such as the codec used by a particular video.
The application is able to scan the files and then indicate the audio (MP3, Flac, AAC, WMA) and video (DivX, XviD, H264/AVC, WMV) codecs used. A link to the website to download the codec is also available, offering the possibility to install the codecs in a very convenient way.
MediaInfo is able to provide lots of information, including the number of frames per second, the rate used, the sampling frequency audio tracks or the number of channels available. MediaInfo also integrates to the context menu of Windows Explorer to access information from a sequence with a few clicks.
Its interface is more than simple: with just a point to the file or directory containing audio files and / or video it scans them presenting the result in different ways such as table, tree, plain text, or HTML page. Data can also be exported into text, HTML or CSV.
- XML output: line breaks and indents in between attributes for readability
- Trace feature: XML trace update, only if compiled with trace feature
- Amazon S3 support (REST API v2), CLI/DLL only and if compiled with libcurl support
- FFV1: improved slice analysis (currently activated only with trace feature and for 1st frame)
- MXF: optimization of the parsing, reading a lot less data (e.g. can be reduced from 1 GB to 10 MB with some UHD files)
- MXF: wrong frame count with files not having the video stream as the first stream
- Dolby E in MPEG-TS: "SMPTE ST 302" information was accidentally removed
- MPEG-TS: avoid filling delay from file name, not applicable on MPEG-TS
- MXF: better handling of huge padding blocks, better handling of descriptors without link to a TrackID
- IMX: streams claiming that they are IMX are actually pure MPEG Video, probing both IMX and MPEG Video
