MediaInfo
MediaInfo displays technical and tag information for video and audio files. It reports details about the container, video and audio streams, text, and chapters, and reads formats including MPEG-4, Matroska, AVI, MXF, H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, MP3, AAC, FLAC, SRT, and ASS. Results can be viewed in text, sheet, tree, or HTML form and exported as text, CSV, or HTML. The software is available as a graphical interface, command-line tool, and library, with operating-system shell integration through drag and drop and context menus. MediaInfo is open-source under a BSD-style license; its listed software price is free. MediaInfoOnline offers a browser-based option and states that files remain on the user's machine rather than being uploaded to MediaArea servers, though it is described as a technology preview. Downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux distributions, as well as a JavaScript module and source builds. MediaArea separately offers integration, maintenance, development, and support services at unlisted prices.
