You need the Mediainfo client, not the mediainfo GUI.
https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows

Then you can use this batch:

@echo off
"E:\MediaInfo_CLI\MediaInfo.exe" "%~1" >"%~1.nfo"
exit

Adjust the path to your Mediainfo.exe.

Thanks works. If i want to drop 2 or more files what it needs to be changed?

Here you go (adjust the mediainfo path):

Coming to this one a wee bit late.
is there a way that I can get the MediaInfo CLI to generate a single file for ALL specific media in a set of folders.

I am using the script below from a parent folder currently to loop through all sub-folders. I only need one mediafile file per folder though.

for /R %%F in ("*.wav" "*.flac" "*.mka") do "C:\Program Files\MediaInfo\MediaInfoCLI\mediainfo.exe" "%%~dpnxF" >"%%~dpnxF.txt"

One other question, how do I change the formatted output to html, if required. Just changing the extension gives me an html file with unformatted content.

Thank you.

For all output to a single file in a folder you need to give it a unique file name and output all from MediaInfoCLI to that file.

for /R %%F in ("*.wav" "*.flac" "*.mka") do "C:\Program Files\MediaInfo\MediaInfoCLI\mediainfo.exe" --output=html "%%~dpnxF" >> "%%~dpF~MediaList.txt"
