How can I check the frame count of my video (without MediaInfo)?

[synnchan]

MediaInfo stopped working for me some days ago and no matter what I do, it doesn't work anymore (already tried reinstalling the program, etc, and that didn't help). Now I get a "Access violation in module "ntdll.dll" error. If you google it, you can see some other people reported the same issue recently, and the devs don't know how to fix it.

So, I need an alternate program to check the frame count of my videos. Do you guys know of any?

Open it in VirtualDub2 and check the frame count in the bottom right.

Virtualdub, Virtualdub2?

If you need something in the command prompt:

mp4box -info cputest-sample1.MP4 2>&1 | findstr "samples"
Media Info: Language "Undetermined (und)" - Type "vide:avc1" - 15640 samples

ffmpeg -i cputest-sample1.MP4 -map 0:v:0 -c copy -f null - 2>&1 | findstr "frame="
frame=15640 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:04:20.63 bitrate=N/A speed=3.43e+03x

I know about Virtualdub and use it regularly, but it can't help with this video since it's a .mkv, and the program can only open .avi.

Have never heard of this Virtualdub2 before though. I tried it out and seems like it really can open .mkv without problems. Thanks for informing me about it, guys. Looks like it's time to replace my old Virtualdub now.

Don't forget about ffprobe.exe. It's a more direct command than using ffmpeg.exe.

ffprobe -select_streams v -show_entries stream=nb_frames "foobar.mp4"
[STREAM]
nb_frames=500
[/STREAM]

ffprobe is very, very, very slow. Specially with big files.

On my system, using a 2 GB AVI file, your ffmpeg command returns in 0.93 seconds; the ffprobe command returns in 0.08 seconds.

Just 2 cents here but... There is also a MediaInfo Command line (MediaInfoCLI) that might work even though the GUI does not...

or try mediainfoxp - it's a standalone version so put it in a folder other than windows/programs

^ Thank you SO much. This is exactly what I needed. It works perfectly!

If you want to scan a huge number of files, you can right click on the file in Windows Explorer and then right click on one of the column headings, choose "More," and then check the "frame rate" and "length" columns. It won'd give you the frame count without multiply both columns, but you can export that into Excel and have it do that for you.
