Depends on how much degradation puts on the output file after rendering.

I am planning to release 6 micro apps in 2026.

Stay tuned to this thread ..

If you're fed up with being an unpaid QA tester for Microsoft, I suggest giving Explorer++ a try.

Probe Score Explained

The probe_score is a numerical value (ranging from 0 to 100) that indicates FFprobe's confidence in identifying the actual file type of a media file.

Key Characteristics
- Maximum Score: 100 - This means FFprobe is 100% confident the file extension matches the actual file type
- Low Score: Indicates potential file type mismatch
- Used during file type detection process

How It Works
1. FFprobe reads the first few seconds of a file
2. It attempts to detect the actual file type
3. Assigns a confidence score based on its analysis

Practical Implications
- High Probe Score (near 100): The file extension likely matches the true file type
- Low Probe Score (below 50): The file might have a misleading extension or be incorrectly encoded

Example Scenarios
- A file named "video.mp3" might actually be an AAC file
- The probe_score helps identify such discrepancies
- If the score is low, you might want to:
- Verify the file's true format
- Use extended probing to get more information

"format": {
"filename": "C:\\T\\Test\\B$_1.eng.aac",
"nb_streams": 1,
"nb_programs": 0,
"nb_stream_groups": 0,
"format_name": "aac",
"format_long_name": "raw ADTS AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)",
"duration": "293.218506",
"size": "5911505",
"bit_rate": "161286",
"probe_score": 51
}

I would like some good ideas related to potential functionality I can add
to my Metadata Editor.

I have 3 unused buttons as shown below ..

Current existing features:

1- Display Metadata for each file in a folder at lightning speed:
[Title, comments, streams count & types, duration, bit rate, FPS, resolution, DAR, encoded by]

2- Edit Metadata [Title, comments, encoded by (system)], fill the title tag with the file name in one click.

3- Extract, before or after Metadata to JSON file

4- Save Input media file with edited Metadata to output media file

5- Support any input, video, audio, subtitle, image, text, attachment, etc [still experimental]

6- Display executed ffmpeg command

7- Remove problematic binary/data streams [ex: tmcd]

8- Change output file name, suffix, folder, or full path

9- Move selected file to your Desktop [for further processing]

10- Delete selected file [with confirmation]

11- Drag n Drop files or folders

12- Basically, a more accurate Media Info replacement

13- Display thumbnails of selected media files [Images, jpg/jpeg, gif, png, bmp, Videos, mp4, mkv, mov, avi, etc]

And more ... any ideas, or feedback, will be appreciated .. thanks in advance.

ffprobe detects embedded images when they’re stored as attachment or attached_pic streams,
and ffmpeg can extract those.

If images are in MP4 'covr' atoms only, ffmpeg can't expose them; re-mux or use MP4-specific tools.

Detect attachments (JSON):

ffprobe -v error -print_format json -show_format -show_streams "input.mp4"

Quick inspect:

ffprobe -v error -print_format json -show_streams "input.mp4" | Out-String

Look for "codec_type":"video" with "disposition": {"attached_pic":1}
or "codec_name":"mjpeg"/"png"

Extract attached picture (replace stream index 0:t:0 as needed):

ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -map 0:t:0 -c copy "cover.jpg"

If there's a video stream with attached_pic disposition:

ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -map 0:v:0 -c copy "frame.jpg"

If only covr atom (no attachment stream); re-mux or use external tools.

Re-mux to MKV then re-check:

ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -map 0 -c copy "tmp.mkv"
ffprobe -v error -print_format json -show_streams "tmp.mkv"

Or use mp4box / Atomic Parsley to extract 'covr' atoms.

Thumbnail Generation in Windows 11 Explorer

Windows 11 uses an automated process to choose a preview frame that best
represents the video's content, with minimal user control over frame selection.

Mechanics
- Automatic frame extraction near the beginning or middle of a video
- Selects a visually representative frame
- Depends on:

1. Installed codecs
2. File format
3. System media settings

Limitations
- Not all video formats generate thumbnails equally
- Thumbnail creation varies by:

1. Codec compatibility
2. File type support
3. Installed media software

Troubleshooting
- Check Folder Options settings
- Clear thumbnail cache
- Verify codec installations
- Ensure appropriate file format support

I am releasing the first micro application a bit ahead of time
as a gift in the spirit of the holiday season.

'Happy Holidays' everyone

The app is new and unsigned (yet), so it will produce few (8/72) false positives on Virus Total:
virustotal scan

As you can see, except for one major over-zealous vender, all the false positives came from
outdated or unknown vendors. keep in mind that some anti-virus vendors have to come up
with imaginary threats (fake viruses) to stay in business.

There is nothing to worry about. My App is totally safe and free of viruses.
