Media info
Look inside a file: streams, codecs, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, duration.

It stays on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Settings
What you get
This runs FFmpeg's own inspection on the file and shows what it reports. That includes the container, every stream in it, the codec each stream uses, resolution and frame rate for video, sample rate and channel layout for audio, and any metadata tags such as rotation, creation date or encoder.
When it is useful
- Finding out why a file will not play somewhere, usually an unusual codec in an ordinary-looking container.
- Reading the exact resolution before setting up a crop.
- Checking whether a phone video carries a rotation flag.
- Confirming a file really is what its extension claims.
Common questions
Why does it say the run failed?
It does not, inspection produces no output file, which FFmpeg reports as an error. The information is still read correctly.
Is the whole file read?
Only the headers and the first part of the stream, so it is quick even on large files.
