What is MediaInfo?
MediaInfo shows the technical details and tags inside audio and video files. Use it to identify a video codec, check frame rate and resolution, or inspect audio sample rate, channels and language before choosing how to handle a file. Its reports cover container information, individual streams, subtitles and chapters.
Choose a text, sheet, tree or HTML view to read the information in a suitable layout, then export a report as text, CSV or HTML. The Windows graphical interface supports drag-and-drop and context-menu integration; separate command-line and library packages are also available from the publisher.
This download is the version 26.10 universal Windows GUI installer for Intel 32-bit, Intel 64-bit and ARM64 systems. The publisher lists Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 for this package. Windows XP is listed separately with version 21.03, so the linked 26.10 package is not the publisher’s XP option.
What it offers
- Inspect container format, duration, bitrate and embedded tags.
- Read video codec, resolution, frame rate, color space and bit depth.
- Examine audio sample rate, channels and language, plus subtitle and chapter information.
- Choose text, sheet, tree or HTML views and export text, CSV or HTML reports.
- Open files through drag-and-drop or Windows context-menu integration.
Good to know
- The linked version 26.10 package is listed for Windows Vista through Windows 11; the publisher offers a separate older 21.03 release for Windows XP.
- This link supplies the graphical interface installer, not the separately listed command-line or DLL package.
