MediaInfo(Lib) 0.7 - Reading information about media files - Page 12

is mediainfo "compatible" with large files?

im having problems with large files, like 25gb.

it "freezes" and looks like is reading the entire file, the hard disk light keep "on"

the video is an avi file, dv codec, exported from sony vegas.

with 13gb files, it take about 13 seconds to identify, but works.

Yes, I had problems with AVI OpenDML files in the last versions because I try to parse the Index chunks for having the real video stream size, and there was bugs in it with OpenDML indexes...
I will release a version today (0.7.5.8), please test it with the biggest AVI you have, this should be a lot quicker (lot of speed improvements), and give me your feedback.

Just a little note about a misspelled codec name:

Code:

Video #0
Codec                        : WinNow
Codec/Info                   : WinNow Videum Hardware Compression

Bit rate                     : 14 Mbps

Frame rate                   : 30.000 fps
Resolution                   : 24 bits
StreamSize                   : 15.0 MiB

That should say "Winnov" not "WinNow"

It's the WNV1 codec.

Thanks, Zenitram!

By the way, is it possible to make the window of MediaInfo remember its size? I hate having to resize the window manually every time to see everything in Text mode.

This is planned, but not he most urgent.
(I am completly rewriting the GUI, for being cross-platform...)

clsid · 6th February 2008, 20:28

I also have a suggestion/request:

Could you make a simplified version of the GUI that is only capable of displaying the info as plain text output. No fancy options. Just a 'browse for file' button, a text field, and perhaps a copy-to-clipboard button.
Preferably statically linked with the mediainfo lib, so that everything is in a single executable file.

For me, what you demand is simple :
- You configure MediaInfo for showing Text by default (in the main configuration window)
- in Win Explorer, right clic on the file, "MediaInfo", and you have the text (I must put a button "copy to clipboard here...).

Anyway, a guy wrote a tools which can be what you want:

(not supported by me)

Not planned currently for official release (doable from source easily).
I can't manage tens of versions with CLI/GUI/DLL, Windows/Linux/Mac, 32/64 bits...

I've just made this simple gui http://www.mediafire.com/?d5yommkdxnz

clsid · 7th February 2008, 12:06

Thanks Atak_Snajpera, that is exactly what I had in mind. A simple and small tool that doesn't require installation.

Kurtnoise13
That's great. Many thanks.

Also the consistency of video strem information in different containers is now much improved:

Many thanks for your work.

If I could have one more request: Would it be possible to display delay and stretch of audio in MKV? It is very important when converting such file.

I like this, Atak. Any chance you could make it so that it remembers the window size or at least resizes itself automatically to fit all the info?

Also, a way to change the font from hard to see grey to black would be good too. Oh, any chance to give it an argument? I'd like to be able for it to load a file by either commandline or creating a right click "MediaInfo" option.

Other than that, I like its simpleness and speed.

Clsid asked for simple GUI so nothing more will be added. BTW This is dark grey (96,96,96) and have no problems with reading text. I suggest to calibrate your monitor

clsid · 13th February 2008, 18:44

Allowing to open a file through command line would be a useful addition. That would for example allow a user to open a file in MediaInfoRaw through a "Send to" shortcut.

Edit: typo

Monitor _IS_ calibrated. I just prefer black text on white to grey text on white.

Bah....when I suggest it you dismiss it. When clsid suggests it you listen :-P

Thanks for adding it. I'll definitely use it now. It's so speedy!

clsid · 13th February 2008, 23:59

Thanks

Edit:
A little request. Could you make the window a bit wider? 50% or so. Now some stuff is getting word wrapped.
