MediaInfo is a tool that enables you to check out the technical information of audio and video files.
Since this is a portable product, installation is not necessary. So, you can simply place Portable MediaInfo on a removable drive and directly run its executable file on any computer. What's more important is that your registry entries will not be changed.
The interface of the app is plain and simple. You can import media by using the file browser or the "drag and drop" function.
So, you can view media information, such as audio and video format, codec, duration, bit rate and bit rate mode, channel, sample frequency rate, bit depth, stream size, language, scan type, width and height.
But you can also check out the format, file size, duration, overall bit rate, encoded date, writing application, and others.
In addition, you can toggle the viewing mode between basic, sheet, tree, text, HTML, XML and others, as well as export information in various formats (e.g. CSV, sheet, text).
In the "Preferences" menu you can change the language and output format, choose your preferred custom sheet and text, enable Portable MediaInfo to automatically check for updates, and more.
The application runs on a moderate amount of system resources and doesn't include a help file. We haven't come across any difficulties during our tests. MediaInfo froze when we imported a folder via the "drag and drop" method, but it eventually restored itself to normal state.
All in all, Portable MediaInfo is a very good program for viewing technical data regarding media files and we strongly recommend it to all users.
