MediaInfo



MediaInfo installed malware/spyware/browser hijack called Snap.do on my computer without warning when I did an upgrade to the current version and used the 'express install' method. Maybe if I had selected 'custom install,' it might have given me the option to de-select this malware that took me over an hour to get rid of (add/remove programs. MediaINFO is a Digital Library System made for easy browsing, searching, cataloging and sharing of digitized culture and heritage.

MediaInfo is a simple tool that provides a wealth of information on audio or video file you selected.

MediaInfo provides detailed information of all kinds in a nice layout. It extracts more than just general data (title, author, album, duration, etc..); it also provides details such as the codec used, sampling frequency, language, frames per second, chapters, etc.

The extracted data can be used in several different ways. MediaInfo can export it to HTML files, Excel-compatible CSV files and more.
