MPEG video properties - what's a quick way to obtain them?

[greenghost]

Hi,

I have some MPEG files I'd like to convert to SVCD. Some are MPEG-1 and others are MPEG-2 files. If I try to create an SVCD with Nero, it takes a while to analyze each file and sometimes brings up an error saying it's the wrong format and would I like to convert it etc.

I'm just wondering if there's a real fast way of determining if an MPEG video clip is MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 format? With AVI files, I can right-click on them (in WinXP Pro) and bring up the properties to see the resolution, codec etc. but I tried the same thing with MPEG files and it doesn't tell me what format they are, what resolution etc.

Thanks!

Down load avicodec program. http://avicodec.duby.info/. It gives video and audio source codes

The LSX mpeg player has a great mpeg info function.

for bitrates and resolutions use demultiplex in tmpg (not simple demultiplex)

Thanks - I just downloaded Avicodec and it's exactly the kind of program I was looking for

mysticgohan17,

Could you clarify that? I'm familiar with the TMPGEnc tools, but how do use them to give you info on bitrates and resolutions?
