I have video file (AVC in .mp4). And I'd like to know what is this - AVC High Profile or AVC Main Profile. Also, I'd like to know what type of audio was used - HE-AAC or LC-AAC. Is this possible?

You probably want to get the mp4 equivalent of mkvinfo, or try dropping that mp4 into a mkv (though I don't think that will work for getting info).

Have you tried Gspot or Avicodec ? (both free)

Yes.

Tried - it can't open the .mp4 file

Both tools say that info is not available.

Opened file with Notepad and there is word in the beginning:
"ftypavc1" - is this AVC MP or AVC HP?

AFAIK, there is a tool named StreamEye from Elecard (http://www.elecard.com/products/streameye.shtml)

I just checked the output of h264_parse. It does not have a profile line, but it does have:

transform_8x8_mode_flag: 1

This is High, 0 would be Main. (of course this is only one aspect of High Profile.) You have to demux to use this first though.

I also checked mp4dump, and it has these:

AVCProfileIndication = 100 (0x64)
profile_compatibility = 0 (0x00)
AVCLevelIndication = 40 (0x28)

From an x264 encode with everything and the kitchen sink, but I don't know how to decipher that. Unfortunately, I only have mp3 tracks, not aac, so I can't tell you if the audio format shows up there. Although absolutely nothing stands out with mp3.

http://xs47.xs.to/pics/05381/avc.jpgthese are not the official mpeg-4 profiles, so this is useless

for finding out the mpeg-4 profile of any mpeg stream in .mp4 you can use the mp4info tool from mpeg4ip, but its commandline
