MediaInfo Mac Universal Binary

Version: 0.7.7.52 || Release Date: 2008-08-30 || License: Freeware Developer: Diego Massanti

MediaInfo Mac is a little but effective tool for the Mac, designed to analyze and report multimedia files of any kind.

MediaInfo Mac can tell you the video and audio codecs used, the settings used for the original encoding, the type and kind of container (AVI, MP4, MKV, etc) and a lot more information that is too long to write in this little intro.

this is a very handy program to have around for anyone who regularly encodes or transcodes video or audio. for instance, amongst many other potential uses, if i am working with avidemux and specifying the target size for a video i am transcoding to xvid, i can use this program to find out exactly how large the video and audio streams are, respectively, thereby enabling me to specify an exact & proper target size for the video stream and a proper encoding scheme for the audio stream to reach the target size without compromising too much on quality. kudos do the developer.

p.s. i submitted an icon for this application a while back, someone should put it up.

I've been looking for something like this for quite a while. I miss having Gspot from my Windows box.

Remarkably useful if you have to deal with a lot of weird codecs. (Although once you work out why it won't play in VLC, you often find there isn't much you can do about it on the Mac.)
