How to list of Audio Tracks

[piknockyou]

Hi.

I have 100s of video files.

I'd like to have a tool that shows me (in a list for example) the number of audio tracks (or the specific audio tracks) of all the video files at the same time.

Any ideas how I can accomplish that?

A batch script using MediaInfo command line outputting/piped to a text file?

Some GUIs can do it also, including probably MediaInfo.

No need to use a script for a simple and not predefined or filtered list. Window GUI allows to browse all files in a folder including sub directories. Then created list can be exported to i.e. txt, html or csv file.

If I understand you correctly, this works for me. You can also list other audio data by adding other %%{items}%%. You just need to drag one item and drop on this .CMD file in order to clear the Tracks.txt file automatically instead of manually clearing or deleting the file.

::echo off
chcp 1252
set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=directsound
for %%a in ("%~dpnx1") Do (
cd %%~dpa
@echo. > "%%~dpa_Tracks.txt"
)
for %%a in (*.mp4,*.mpg,*.flv) Do (
echo %%~dpnxa >> "%%~dpa_Tracks.txt"
MediaInfo.exe "--Output=Audio;%%Channel(s)%%" "%%~dpnxa" >> "%%~dpa_Tracks.txt"
@echo. >> "%%~dpa_Tracks.txt"
)

Yields the following quick and dirty:

C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\20SecXInstagram.mp4
2

C:\Users\Bud\Desktop\Wham_Last Christmas.mp4
2

Yet another way: use ffastrans. Your Workflow would look like this (i opened the settings of the "Generate Text File Node" so you see how i set this:

Of course the "monitor Folder" Component is set up to watch the subfolder structure where your videos are.
In the generated text file you see this:

C:\temp\Sony_MXF.mxf;Tracks: 4; Channels: [2,2,2,2]
C:\temp\PXL_20210514_111131810.mp4;Tracks: 1; Channels: [2]

Thanks everyone for their support & effort.
I believe Mediainfo is a good solution if I set the view to Sheet! : )
