MediaInfo is a tool that displays the most relevant technical and tag metadata for video and audio files, available as a CLI, multiple GUIs (Qt, wxWidgets, UWP, VCL), and mobile apps. It is the front-end application for MediaInfoLib and supports a wide range of containers, codecs, and tag formats.
Use cases
- inspect codec, bitrate, and frame rate of a video file
- check audio sample rate and channel layout of a media file
- read ID3 and other metadata tags from media files
- export media file technical details as CSV or HTML
- identify container format and subtitle tracks in a video
- batch-analyze media files from the command line
- verify media file properties before archiving
When to choose
- you need detailed technical metadata for video/audio files across many formats
- you want both a GUI and scriptable CLI for media inspection
- you need cross-platform support including mobile
- you want to export media metadata in structured formats like CSV or JSON
When to avoid
- you need to edit or transcode media files rather than inspect them
- you need deep bitstream-level conformance checking (consider MediaConch or QCTools)
- you only need playback, not technical details
