Any way to get the video resolution for hundreds of MKVs in a list format?

[StumpedTechy]

I am trying to do a media cleanup and its not working out well for me.

Short story - What I want is something that I can point to a folder and look at all the mkv files in that folder and sub folders and give me the name of the mkv and the resolution the video file in the mkv is in.

Long story - I have recently splurged for a NAS and I have moved my entire DVD/Blu-ray collection on it I am now up in the 400+ movies range.

if I had thought about it I would have checked each file before putting it up to the NAS but I didn't so now I ma left with the mess I had on my computer now on my NAS.

The thing is when I was first starting to rip the movies to PC I had some DVDs I ripped "too small" and I actually made their resolution smaller than the native on the media. Again when blu-rays first came out I didn't have the storage capacity and my first blu-rays also dropped in resolution mainly because I wanted them ripped to play on my non HD TVs at the time.

I then decided I was going to go 100% MKV and I took a lot of the things I ripped in mpeg2/4 format and put them into MKVs.

So now I have a mix of good rips and bad rips and I wanted to weed them out. Is there some program I can run that will hit every MKV file on my NAS and give me a returned list of each file name and what its resolution is?

I do know I can take the MKV drop it into the mkvmergegui and click a few tabs to find it or even go with a whole folder into Mediainfo but then I have to search through all the information just for the movie and resolution. I really don't want to be doing this individually for that many movies. I really didn't mess with the audio when ripping so the main thing I am worried about is the resolution.

Here is to hoping someone can help this ignorant soul and save me hours upon hours of work looking at each and every file

If you use the command line version of MediaInfo:

MediaInfo --Inform=Video;%Width%x%Height% "Path to file"

Mediainfo will only output the resolution of the file.

if you use the template option and write a c:\template.txt containing :

General;%FileName%

Video;%Width%x%Height%

mediainfo.exe --Inform=file//C:\template.txt "Path to you folder"

MediaInfo will only output the filename and the resolution for each file in the folder

=> for more details an in case I made a mistake read the help info mediainfo provides.

I didn't realize that media info could 1) use command line 2) use templates. I'll take a look and see what I can come up with. I feel a bit foolish asking about a tool to do something when I have the tool actually installed *facepalm*

Thank you for the direction.

you need to use the command line version not the gui version if you want to use it through command line
