Is there any tool can tell me if a mkv file is encoded with anamorphic?

[fifth5]

Some guy told me that mkvverify could do that, but I didn't find out a working command option.

Any tool else?

Thanks.

If you want a command line app, use http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

mediainfo --Inform="Video;%PixelAspectRatio%" filename

If the output is >1 then it's anamorphic.

thx tph.

If PAR > 1 indicates it's anamorphic, then mkvverify could do this too.

Another question, is there a GUI app working for my request?

There are plenty of MediaInfo GUI

There are plenty of MediaInfo GUI

MediaInfo itself has a GUI version:

Also AVInaptic is a pretty useful video analyze tool:

The Matroska shell extensions (from Haali's splitter, or the old one from Matroska.org) will show the information when you view file Properties in Windows Explorer - one of them shows it on the Media tab, in which case it shows the encoded dimensions (720x480) and the aspect ratio (1.76:1 or whatever AR flag was chosen); the other one shows it on the Matroska Info tab, where it has Pixel Size and Display Size fields.

(I tend to use the actual intended resolution when I flag MKV files for anamorphic playback, I can't remember if using the AR selector instead actually uses a different field when viewed on the Info tab)

Or, of course, many software players will autocorrect for the anamorphism, and if they have a properties viewer then it would be clear there as well.
