MediaInfoXP v2.12
https://github.com/lordmulder/mediainfo ... /tag/v2.12

MediaInfo has been updated to version 0.7.70.
Version 0.7.70, 2014-09-03
--------------
* 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
* HEVC: some streams with VUI were not parsed
* MPEG Video: was not correctly handling 1000:1001 frame rates and NDF time codes combination during frame count computing
* 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
* XDCAM: information about the MXF header presence was not provided if MOV header has a glbl atom
* Some specific C++11 code is removed for full compatibility with older C++
* MXF: Time codes values were buggy in case of MXF with pre-charge ("Origin" not 0)
* MPEG-4 Visual: wrong analysis in case on video_object_layer_shape not set to regular
* 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)
* Non-Unicode version was not building anymore
* DyLib: trying to have a better support of pure C compilers

Doesn't play nice with Sandboxie, so I can't test this properly, but it seems portable. Anyway, I like it.

Wish it would let me drop media files on it, so I can add it in the SendTo menu (I know about the shell integration, but that requires registry alteration).

In what way it does not "play nice" with Sandboxie? Seems to work okay for me:

You mean Drag&Drop? That is already implemented and it works fine for me.

Anyway, if you want to add a shortcut to the SendTo menu, that's not Drag&Drop but command-line usage. So you'll have to add the "--open" parameter to your shortcut in the SendTo folder.

I got this error when I tried to use it with my Sandboxie, but then I realized that I didn't have the latest version, so I updated Sandboxie and it works fine now:

The "--open" command works great, thank you! I was trying to drop media files directly on MediaInfoXP.exe, as that indicates it usually works also with a shortcut in SendTo menu.

Strange. NT status code 0xC0000142 indicates:
DLL Initialization Failed. Initialization of the dynamic link library %hs failed. The process is terminating abnormally.
MediaInfoXP doesn't even use any DLL's - except for some fundamental system libraries that you cannot get around, of course.

Anyway, good to know the problem was resolved with newer Sandboxie versions...

Is there any way I can compare 2 (video) files side by side?

Side by side? Not really :?

You can open several files at once though. The info will the be presented within the same window.


Another option:

Save the info of the first file to "A.txt" and the info of the second file to "B.txt". Then use your favorite Diff tool on these two files.

Very old topic update: the present is the official forum topic for MediaInfo (https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=884), a powerful multi-platform OSS media file information utility that became notorious overnight when it started including Open Candy with its Windows installers (see http://mediaarea.net/Bundled).
MediaInfo latest version (currently v0.7.8.1: https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfo/ChangeLog) can be downloaded from https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfo/Download/Windows.
(Note: as mentioned above, packages marked "Add supported" will include Open Candy! Files listed as "without installer" don't have it and are supposedly portable...)

MediaInfo multi-platform file repository still lives at Sourceforge.net (same caveats as above for Windows versions): https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediai ... es/binary/.

BTW, K-Lite Codec Pack is known to include a clean alternative version with no adware called MediaInfo Lite (https://www.codecguide.com/download_other.htm#mediainfo).

Before being renamed MediaInfo Lite, it was called Easy MediaInfo -- and an old standalone portable version (with MediaInfo v0.7.5.1) is still available from here...

More MediaInfo GUI alternatives:

MediaInfoXP (Downloads are at https://github.com/lordmulder/mediainfo-gui/releases; hat tip to deathcubek, AKA Mulder 8))
MediaInfo Plus (DotNET v2.0; download is at http://www.hot.ee/microtools4u/)
  • MediaInfo in 'Windows (Files) Explorer'… Very small program extracted from Movied to be used separately… It finds MediaInfo.dll (32, 64 bits) and shows media info for almost any media file.

Ah, right. I hadn't realized that deathcubek = MuldeR. Thanks. :)

By the way, MPC-HC can also show MediaInfo data (File -> Properties -> MediaInfo).
