View Full Version : How do I list all MKV runtimes from a folder?

Folks,
I have 533 Matroska files (thanks to MAKEMKV) converted from a Blu-ray disc.
This number is quite large, due to the number of extra features, and Windows 7 cannot tell me the runtime from each file while I am viewing the properties of this folder.
What I need is simple: a list from the runtimes from this folder (is there a way to extract this info from all of them at once?). If I had AVI files instead of MKV, Windows would have told me this info, but not with MKVs.
Based on the runtimes I will be able to find which files I am looking for in order to do a simple task: name them (something like "Making Of - part 12" instead of title514.mkv, if you know what I mean). :)

MatroskaProp
Rather old but rather good.

MatroskaProp will only display some info if you click with the right button from the mouse and select properties from each file, so it's worthless to what I was planning to do. I need the statistics from 533 files at once.

Total Commander can list all files and their properties easily.

MatLz, you must be using a different Windows version, at least in Windows 7 MatroskaProp does not work.
And Total Commander cannot show any info about MKV files. It seems this is another old software.
Anyone can suggest other alternatives? I am going to waste a lot of time trying to identify each video one by one.
I only need to know their runtimes, that's all.

What I need is simple: a list from the lengths from this folder
I thought you simply meant listing the file size of each file and writing it to a list which is possible with Total Commander.

I need something like this:

Windows 7 is not recognizing Matroska files to list their runtimes in each folder.

I believe you're actually referring to "runtime" and NOT file size (or length)...

I believe you're actually referring to "runtime" and NOT file size (or length)... Sorry for the confusion, english is not my native language and somehow I remembered this word but it's not related to what I was asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length
I have also tried this solution but it didn't worked.
I thought I'd seen this feature in Total Commander before so I've been browsing the official forums which do have a solution. Download and install (by double-clicking on the zip) this plugin in Total Commander. Replace the dll in the plugins folder with the one from a current Mediainfo installation.
In Total Commander select Configuration > Options > Custom Columns > New > Add Column > + > TCMediainfo > Duration.
