Is it possible to change the mediainfo information ?
hello everyone, Is it possible to change the information seen in the mediainfo program ?, For example about the characteristics of the video and the coding parameters, etc,
For example;
Is it possible to Hide "Encoding Settings" or modify any of these lines in x264 ? is there any option that can control how this information is shown ? with any option in x264 or x265 ??. Or maybe later with some program to edit Tags, etc ?
Thank you very much for your help

The "Encoding settings" you see for x264 and x265 encodes in MediaInfo are written by x264 and x265 into the AVC/HEVC bitstream as so called "SEI"s. x265 has the option "--no-info" to turn this off. x264 does not provide such an option (of course a programmer could alter the x264 source code and compile it himself). ffmpeg may allow removing the SEI via the "filter_units" bitstream filter. The SEI is often only at the front of the stream so cutting the front away may lead to removal of the SEI as well. I don't know any software to "edit" them in the sense that you change parameters.
The x264 devs intentionally did not provide an option, btw, because they thought:
a.) it's laughable anyone is gonna "steal" "your" precious settings and
b.) it makes debugging harder

I found a version but it's very old, and I don't have enough knowledge to do it myself. I'm just a user.

According to the author of this modified version (2009 and 2011, very old) indicates the following:
It would be good to find an updated versionAdd --no-versioninfo to the cmdline parameter and no user data will be written to the bitstream.
I suppose that modifying x264 last version is difficult and requires specific knowledge.
And since modifying each video manually with hex editor is too much work and does not justify the time invested and it is not safe.
I hope to find a version with this option
Thanks for your help

Why would you want to hide your compression settings? Seems a bit small minded

why not ?Originally Posted by davexnet
the main reason is that it takes a lot of testing time for an encode to have good quality, sometimes hours, changing options, etc.
Very good quality and with less size, well compressed, etc.
and sometimes I do not want to share this information.
As I say it does not matter why I want. What is important is to know the answer to the problem. because it helps me solve my problem and also thousands of people who can read this forum later.
I want to have the power to share this information or Not
I like to help, but sometimes I want to have that option available to decide.
Thank you for your help.Last edited by zerowalk; 23rd Sep 2019 at 20:26.

You can always replace the metadata with blanks with a hex editor.

thanks, but it would have to be manually one by one.Originally Posted by jagabo

Seems like a selfish motive... if you don't want to share your settings, dont share your vids. simple as that...
My advice.. Learn to program and build the compiler yourself..

There's nothing good about your comment, it's pure garbage and it doesn't help at all.
If you like drama, go look for it somewhere else.. I don't have time to waste on nonsense.
And who said it's for public sharing?
Why do you assume things you don't know?
kids......
My advice to you : If you don't know the answer and you're not going to help, it's better that you don't write anything. And respect people's questions.

Wow, the entitlement is off the charts! I'm with teodz1984 on this.

What's more, your precious settings aren't guaranteed to work as optimally on any other clip anyway. So you really are wasting your time trying protect your "pot o' gold".

Very apt and direct, 21teodz1984. However, maybe zerowalk is challenged to know what to do with a hex editor. Hmm, play the hand you say. OK, zerowalk, I will accept a contract job from you for $500. The program will remove user data SEIs from AVC/HEVC elementary streams. Sound good? Maybe Bullwinkle would do it for less, but you know, you get what you pay for. Am I wrong?

2. All the information is online to read a file and search for data and replace it.
3. Create a form with all the files you want changed and let it search and replace.

HelloOriginally Posted by Cornucopia
Whatever the case is my decision and I have the right to share it or not, that's the real question and nothing else.
We live in a time where you can give your opinion and help people in a free way through the internet, why waste time with fanaticism that doesn't help at all?
If you don't like the subject simply respect the position of others. You do not have the right to judge and sentence people in the same way that I or others cannot judge or criticize you. You deserve respect. the same way we all deserve respect.
Enough of fanaticism or stupidity postures, our Humanity has already suffered too much for radical postures and intolerance ...
Learn to respect others ... In every sense of the word
As long as the question or comment is made with respect , Everything will be fine.
I'll always ask and comment on what I think. With respect to everyone, and always trying to help others and respecting them, no one or anything is going to stop me.
Greetings and I hope that everyone is doing very well.

Criticize with property and you will be respected, criticize for disturbing and you will be annihilated. Do you remember that publicity?
I hope you have a good day and respect others.

POLITICS ASIDE: The solution is obvious from the get-go, you just have to read the thread carefully and without prejudice and with a clear mind..
IF I PUBLISH THE SOLUTION IT GOES AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF THE 264 devs..
They intentionally did not provide an option, btw, because they thought:
a.) it's laughable anyone is gonna "steal" "your" precious settings and
b.) it makes debugging harder

Some people feel proud of how good quality they've managed to get with x264 and don't want to share it with the world.
And 0.000000000001% because you "managed" to not completely screw up the settings
So you use the software that has been kindly provided to you for free, but you aren't even willing to share your settings with the community?
What kind of egoistic behavior is that ???

And where's the constructive criticism?
Constructive criticism is understood as anything that helps you to solve a problem in a good way.
The only thing I find in all your comments is Criticism and childish sarcasm, Absolutely nothing constructive.
For example, the developers of x265 understood it perfectly and added that option to hide "non-info" and they don't have to deal with this drama.
maybe it's a technical failure maybe it's complicated and it costs a lot of work, etc, etc.
But it's so hard to give that answer or try to help in some other way?
Why do we have to criticize and think wrong all the time?
Let's respect everyone equally and live life to help and not to annoy others.
My opinion is that everyone should be respected equally, in every sense of the word.

Again, I say, WHY go to such attempts to prevent others from seeing your wonderful encoding settings that you used for THIS material, when the assumption that it could without permission or credit be carried over EXACTLY to some other material and used by someone else, is ludicrous. If someone uses it on other material, it might be OK, but it very likely won't be optimal, because the material will be different. Thus, their motivation doesn't exist, unless they are clueless, in which case they deserve getting a sub-optimal encoding. And that ought to satisfy you, as they then wouldn't want to proudly roll it as their own.
But this stuff isn't rocket science, or wizardry, either. You use the tools to tweak it, based on its characterists that can be exploited. There are some obvious, major options you can do, but much like the old days of XVCD, getting into the minutia of things like matrix, trellis, etc yield decreasing rates of return on your effort (hyperbolic function). And further and further tweaks can only continue to improve when they are matched to the content.
And since this is a free area, I am free to continue to comment as I see fit. Even if you don't like it, it IS constructive. Because I don't answer just for you, but for those who may follow. I wouldn't want them to make the same mistake you are.
But if you can't let go of this, the answer has already been given, by Budman and others. Code it yourself, or use a scriptable hexeditor to do a search & replace, or manually remove via ffmpeg etc, or live with it.

But what we are looking for, here in this forum is Help and solution to our problems. We don't want to be criticized or disrespect us.
We have the right to Ask questions freely in a respectful way and without disrespecting anyone.
I respect your position, but do not say that it is Ridicule, because that is disrespect and I never disrespect you.
I'm fine with your last comment ...but I don't agree, all progress means progress and any extra option that is available will always be helpful. It is everyone's decision to use it or not. I don't see any major problem here.
I respect all opinions always, but when they are expressed in a coherent and respectful way. without disrespecting others.
And it is not a mistake to ask, as long as it is done with the respect that everyone deserves. It seems to me that your position here is very Intolerant, learn to respect others, even if you don't like it.
Some users already gave their answers and helped to solve the problem and I thank them very much. I don't see any problem here.
And it's my decision if I want to keep asking or if I have any other questions,
Again, you're wasting your time trying to block my question, etc
I am free to ask what I want and when I want and no one or anything is going to stop me. I always respect other people's opinions always with respect.
And since this is a free zone, I consider your last comment Ridiculous and I will keep asking what I want always.
