I can simply right click and do gspot or mediainfo one by one. However as I only have a dozen or two left to sort I don't know that I'm going to pursue this drastic of a step. I was resorting a bunch of downloaded youtube vids for future remuxing or encoding for use in a wdtv or on a xbox 360/ps3. Select lots of files with a common combo & Move them to a sub-directory I can see the benefit of this.

was it ffdshow video for windows interface, where you can choose which video Encoders / Decoders are used/enabled? Can't remember, was a little while ago and only used it once or twice. I also seem to remember some kind of configurator.

the install of which allowed the user to "opt-in" by checkbox on the list of codecs it was installing. I take the point though about the multiple different versions of codecs that could 'fight for dominance', but I did uninstall what was on XP first.įollowed by an install of the Cole2k pack. Repeating for whatever number of files there are. "filed.avi" is encoded xvid with ac3 5.1ch audio -> renamed to "filed. "filec.avi" is encodeded avc with aac stereo audio -> renamed to " filec.
avi"įileb.avi is encdoded divx3 with mp3 audio -> renamed to "fileb. It is cumbersome to repeatedly use mediainfo on individual files from a list, then manually do the following.įilea.avi is encoded xvid video with mp3 audio -> renamed to "filea. So if the filenames are something like.įilea.avi, fileb.avi, filec.avi, filed.avi and on and on and on. Also, audio encoding is something I choose depending on the source, rather than a '1 size fits all'. Why? Well over time, newer codecs come out, so older ones are no longer used to encode. There is a mixture of codecs used in those files. Repeat as needed for whatever other A/V codec combos are there.įor example, If I have a folder with lots of media files in it. Move all renamed files back to their original location. Select lots of files with a common combo & Move them to a sub-directoryīatch-rename the contents of that sub-directory to append the codec combination to the end of the filename. Sort the contents of a directory according to A/V codec combination, It is a real pain to go back and individually rename a large number of files. I have recently settled upon my own filename convention for media files. No, I want it for batch renaming purposes. The reason I wanted the codec column option wasn't because it looks cool - I actually turn off those kinds of options (codec, duration, dimensions) when normallly listing a media directory as the OS can be slow to gather such info when listing a directory with many large files. Another excellent program for doing exactly what it does. I decided to sign up to this forum just so I could reply to this 'cos it's been annoying me on and off for a couple of years now. Hope this helps anyone else who's been searching for this. Which I think is recent enough (circa 2011?)Īnd again, logged out of windows XP and back in again.

#MEDIAINFO XP HOW TO#
But have from time to time, had another look to try and find out how to get it back.
I lost it since, through various XP re-installs and (naturally) new, more up-to-date codecs/-pack installs.
#MEDIAINFO XP SOFTWARE#
Since I had installed quite a few codecs and codec packs before I noticed that option, I had no idea what software added that (I guess I'll call it an) Explorer Shell Extension. I knew it wasn't actually a part of Windows XP by default, I figured it was a shell extension that one of the codecs or codec-packs I had installed added. avi file) that a file's codecs were XVID, MP3 for example. It was fantastic as it showed in detail view (eg, of a. One of those 'other' columns to add as an option was 'Codecs'. some are there by default from windows, but not all. I do remember at one point I was able to view - In "Detail View" when listing media files in Windows (XP) Explorer, there was an option when right-clicking on one of the column headers at the top (like name, filesize, date modified etc.) where you could add all sorts of 'other' columns. I've dipped in and out of it over the last couple of years. I think I've figured this out once and for all.
