MediaInfo

Note: According to developer, the GUI for the commercial Mac App Store version is best suited for OS X.

MediaInfo provides easy access to technical and tag information about video and audio files.

Features

• Read many video and audio file formats
• View information in different formats (text, tree)
• Export information as text
• Graphical user interface, command line interface, or library (.dll/.so/.dylib) versions available
• Integrate with the shell (drag-and-drop, and Context menu)

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

New

• Ubuntu 17.04 packages
• HEVC: support of stream having VPS hrd_parameters
• FLV: support of FLV files with an ID3v2 header
• FLV: detect some incoherent frame rates in buggy files
• TIFF: support of more tags
• I518, AAC: consider 4 back channels as 2 side + 2 back channels
• Matroska: integrate all elements from Matroska specs in MediaTrace
• WAV: parsing of MPEG Audio extension "mext" chunk and displayed in MediaTrace
• MPC: channels count
• AAC: ADTS/ADIF duration in case of full parsing and/or "risky bitrate estimation" option

Fixed

• MXF: less false-positive detection of some files as MXF
• B1053, WAV: metadata coherency, ignore "fact" chunk more often in order to avoid bad information when this chunk is buggy
• B1029, DPX: DPX endianess not considered with some fields in MediaTrace
• Custom template: can check "Other" part as any other parts
• Matroska: fix parsing issue with small byte blocks are taken from the file e.g. when reading from HTTP link
• Matroska: files with unknown block size were flagged as truncated
• MediaTrace: values with a n were breaking the text report lines
• Some typos (RefFrames, SPF)
