AVI analyzers

[tripex]

Hi

I have used GSpot quite a while as an AVI analyzer. Since I started to mux more than 2 audio streams I realized there are some unreliabilities for the 3rd and 4th audio stream in an AVI file. It says 5 channels instead of actually 6 for all 5.1 AC3s but indicates it properly for the first two. Additionally I would see 3/2.1 instead of only the amount of channels.

Is there any other (better) tool out there which could replace GSpot?

Yes! It's called "AVInaptic" and you can get it here:
http://fsinapsi.altervista.org/code/avinaptic/index.html

Just download the ZIP and extract it. The program runs in English ;)

What is the difference between AVInaptic and MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/no)? I can only see that AVInaptic also support demuxing, which MediaInfo does not and some tool to change FourCC. I would think for people that is new to video and audio encoding that MediaInfo would be more safe to use as it would only let you know what kind of file that deal with and not change it.

I just ask this as to be sure what to recommend on other forum to use when they want to get some info about their video.

First of all I'd say those are two completely diffrent applications.

Since I did not use "MediaInfo" before I can't say much about it.
But I can say that AVInaptic is the most complete analyze tool I have seen so far!

1. AVInaptic supports a wide range of containers (AVI, MP4, MOV, MKV, ASF/WMV and OGG/OGM)
2. AVInaptic shows a lot of detailed information about video streams (e.g. all x264 encoding settings, the H.264 Profile and Custom Quant Matrices) *
3. AVInaptic can display/save a bitrate graph **
4. AVInaptic can do a DRF analysis and display the result as a graph, including framesize and VBV buffer ***
5. AVInaptic can export all the information as HTML code or BBCode
