You could just simply rename any big media files (blu-ray m2ts files eg.) to any other extensions (avi/mkv/mp4...).

Known issue about the support of multi-channel extension of TAK, in the (long) ToDo-list, no ETA.

No MediaInfo context use with MLP audio files. Drag and drop works with MediaInfo GUI v7.66.

Added to the list of known extensions.

Latest 0.7.68 crashes when trying to scan the file.

0.7.67 was fine.

Very weird, it crashes only when I use the old Visual C++ 2005, no crash with Visual C++ 2010 and same config.
I don't try to understand, I actually switched to MSVC 2010 (I hop there is no more Win95 users in 2014!).

Here is a Development snapshot

[wanezhiling]

I am using win7/win8.1.

Tested dev version, no crash now.

FWIW, here's a set of fresh MediaInfo v0.7.69 builds, all fully static:

While playing around with an MPEG2 HD test clip I got a little disturbed because MediaInfo and DGIndex cannot agree on the audio delay...

DGIndex reports 12ms while MediaInfo insists on -53ms. Which one is correct?

The file is here:
http://www.w6rz.net/1080p30.zip

Visually testing lip sync doesn't work here because the audio is silent.

It's hard to say which is "correct" without specifying how the demuxing is done, and where the video will start.

For example, if both apps demux the audio the same but one discards leading B frames while the other does not, then the delay will be different.

I'll have a look at your stream and see if I have any comment to make about it.

Just wondering is there any method to make information on the right hand side become vertical aligned in html view? (like txt view but automatically wraping to conveniently see full x264 settings)

Video:
Frame 0 (2 in presentation order): PTS 1.768, DTS 1.668
Frame 1 (0 in presentation order): PTS/DTS 1.702

Audio:
Frame 0 : PTS 1.715

There is a bug somewhere in MediaInfo (it takes the PTS of the frame 2 in presentation order, not good).
DGIndex is right.

For the moment, nothing.
GUI work is still something I would like to create again from scratch, but sponsored features have still the priority.

Thanks for looking into it...

I'm running a bach script for MediaInfo CLI

template="file:///volumes/video/Temp/MediaInfoPara.txt"
output="/volumes/video/Temp/MediaInfoOut.txt"

mediainfo --Version      

totfiles=$(find  . -name "*.mkv" -o -name "*.m4v" -o -name "*.avi" | wc -l)
echo "Number of movies to check: " $totfiles

[[ -f "$output" ]] && rm -f "$output"

find . -name "*.mkv" -o -name "*.m4v" -o -name "*.avi" | while read movie
do
	counter=$((counter+1))
	echo -n "$((${counter}*100/${totfiles})) %     "	
	echo -n R | tr 'R' '\r'
	mediainfo --Inform=$template "$movie" >> $output
done

And here are the parameters for the script.

Everything is imported to Excel and works great except i have problems if there are many audio tracks leading to that subtitle 1 is not always in column XYZ. Any advice how to fix my script so the result is always zyx columns and first subtitle is find in column ccc. It's ok to maximize numbers of audio tracks like max 3 or 5.

This is a problem with CSV .
For the moment, I coded something in the Windows GUI for having a fixed count of tracks (e.g. 5 audio tracks), but it is not yet moved to the CLI. I have no idea about when I'll have time to work on such extra feature on my side (not a priority of my sponsors), you are on your own (find another tool which can transform XML to CSV?)

y, is it possible to use 2 template 1 for general and only 1 video. Can I specify to only get info from Audio 1 (main)?

And then use template 2 to add x no of subtitles, then the first subtitle will always start at column xyz?

[RandomDude]

1) What is the parameter to get color primaries, this doesn't work

mediainfo --inform="Video;%Color_Primaries%" filename


2) Is it possible to separate a BluRay Remux (no encoding settings) made with eac3to from a encoded mkv with stripped/missing encoding settings useing mediainfo

%colour_primaries%
do mediainfo -f --Language=Raw in order to get the list of internal names you need for the template.

The support of templates is currently very limited, you need to use the library directly in order to do exactly what you want.
