VideoSpec ReviewBest of Breed - Version: 0.7.5, 7/4/2009 02:51AM PST

This is hands-down the best media info app available today, and it's free! I don't have time to go into much detail about VideoSpec now, but I just wrote a review of MediaInfo Mac 0.7.17.3 which naturally compares it with VideoSpec because it is the best of breed. You can find it by typing "VideoSpec" into the search field at the top of this page.

Seriously, if you work with video media, and especially if you're doing any kind of conversion from one filetype/container/codec/framerate/etc. to another, download this and MediaInfo Mac (and any others you can find), then run them on the same video file side-by-side, and you'll immediately see why VideoSpec is an order of magnitude better.

BTW, I don't know any of these developers. Like you, I wanted to know which was better for my purposes, so I downloaded 4 different ones and VideoSpec won fair and square right off the blocks. It helped VideSpec quite a bit that it's developer came out with its most recent version (0.7.5) right in the middle of my evaluation because he added an in-app movie player, reports exporting, minimum and maximum bitrate stats for vids using a variable bitrate method, and the in-app integration of the Bitrate Pro bitrate calculator, which reduces by one the number of apps I need to have open when working with videos.

Oh, did I mention that VideoSpec is FREE?

The notes should be in a plain text document, not wrapped in an application. As an application, it has a modified date of 2006. If you keep a copy of it, the next time you MAY get new info, but the OS will act like it's the exact same file.

this is excellent for really analysing video files, unlike the other(s) which simply use the included tags of the video file
