MediaInfo
Unified display of technical and tag data for video and audio files

MediaInfo is an open-source tool that analyzes video and audio files to display detailed technical metadata including container format, video codec, audio channels, subtitles, and more. It supports a wide range of formats such as MPEG-4, Matroska, H.264, AAC, and many others. Users can view information through a graphical interface, command line, or integrate it as a library into their own applications.
MediaInfo reads video and audio files and extracts container, video, audio, subtitle, and chapter metadata, displaying it in multiple formats including text, tree, sheet, or HTML via a GUI, CLI, or library.
