Mediainfo Net

MediaInfo is a free, cross-platform and open-source program that displays technical information about media files, as well as tag information for many audio and video files. It is used in many programs such as XMedia Recode, MediaCoder, eMule, and K-Lite Codec Pack.^[4] It can be easily integrated into any program using a supplied MediaInfo.dll. MediaInfo supports popular video formats (e.g. Matroska, WebM, AVI, WMV, QuickTime, Real, DivX, XviD) as well as lesser known or emerging formats.^[5] In 2012 MediaInfo 0.7.57 was also distributed in the PortableApps format.^[6]

MediaInfo provides a command-line interface for displaying the provided information on all supported platforms. Additionally, a GUI for viewing the information on Microsoft Windows and macOS is provided.

Technical information[edit]

MediaInfo is a convenient unified display of the most relevant technical and tag data for video and audio files. Free Publisher: MediaArea.net Downloads: 1. MediaInfo is a convenient unified display of the most relevant technical and tag data for video and audio files. The MediaInfo data display includes: Container: format, profile, commercial name of the format, duration, overall bit rate, writing application and library, title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration. I need a media information extraction library (pure Java or JNI wrapper) that can handle common media formats. I primarily use it for video files and I need at least these information: Video length.

Mediainfonet.dll

It is Mediainfo.dll. The file goes with a standalone program to display information with more or less details in several ways. Or, you can use a third party program known as MeditaTab. This program adds a new tab in Windows Explorer's Property Dialog. But, there is a major drawback with mediainfo DLL for BASIC programmers. It is written in C.

MediaInfo reveals information such as:

• General: Title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration
• Video: codec, aspect ratio, framerate, bitrate
• Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate
• Text: subtitle language
• Chapters: numbers of chapters, list of chapters^[7]

MediaInfo 0.7.51 and newer retrieve codec information optionally from tags or by computation. Thus in the case of misleading tags erroneous codec information may be presented.

MediaInfo installer was previously bundled with 'OpenCandy'. However, you were able continue the installation process without installing it.^[8] This is no more the case since April 2016.
