DiegoMax · Member Joined: 31 Jan 2008 Location: Argentina

Hello there, i just wanted to inform that i have created a full GUI implementation of the mediainfo library by Jerome Martinez and i just released it.

New version released: 0.7.5.81

Changes:

drag & drop compatible now

After installing this new version, i recommend all users to select "YES" when the application asks to check for updates periodically, because at this time im releasing improved versions every 2 or 3 days, so by doing that all the process becomes automatic and no need for downloads, etc.

I attach a screenshot and download link here.

Download HERE.

For more info about this tool you can visit my blog at http://massanti.com.

Thanks in advance.

I have added a link to your tool from the Mediainfo tools page, www.videohelp.com/tools/MediaInfo . I might add an own page for it later.

Excellent job, Diego. Regarding suggestions, as of now, window placement and layout aren't recalled after a quit. The ability to drag a video file on the icon, or once open, onto the dock icon would be nice.

When exporting, it would be simpler in my view, to have it default to the loaded vids file name, as opposed to having to fill something in manually everytime. The latest update also seems to have removed some crucial codec settings info (Packet Bitstream/GMC/QPel etc.)

Video resolution and aspect ratio would be great additions.

Finally, I'd love to see bpp (bits per pixel) info calculated. This is also known as QF (quality factor) in GSpot.

That's all I've got at the moment. Once again, fabulous work on this!

Hey Meritocracy, thanks for the feedback!

Regarding drag/drop support, it will be added on the next version (I'm actually working on that), and also, I am planning to add a contextual menu option, so when you do a right-click on a media file, you will have an extra menu item like "analyze.." or so (that would be optional of course).

Regarding the latest update, yes, it is true, there seems to be a bug in the latest mediainfo core and i notified Jerome about it already, i think it will be fixed really soon :p

Also, I'm working on a full "settings" screen for the program to allow the user to select what details he/she wants to display about the files, but for now, if you right click on the application, then select "Show package contents", inside it you will see a "Resources" folder, and inside it, there is a file called "Strings.plist". That file is basically a configuration file for the application, so if you already know the mediainfo parameter for the item you want to display, you could just add it to that file, i know it sounds pretty complex but it is really easy

Inside the Strings.plist file, you will see something like this:

Hi, this is Zenitram, the developper of libmediainfo (not the GUI, only the library), I can speak about library-specific problems

a bug:

"i am reporting a bug in the latest build of mediainfo for mac (0.7.5.91);

the settings on the container, video and audio stream panels in the preference window are unreadable. that is the the text and background in those three panels are both black [unless the particular setting is highlighted with the mouse or keyboard]. i have included a link to a screenshot to serve as a better example of the bug;

also, here is just the plain link;

p.s. this bug only appears to occur under os x tiger, as those panels displayed correctly on my leopard machine.

Is anyone having issues with the latest version (the web site says I'm downloading 0.7.7.52 but the .dmg is titled 0.7.7.50) crashing on opening? This is on a C2D MBP running 10.4.10

My crash log is clear about the cause:
