See a Video's Codec, Resolution and Bitrate on Your Mac

Media Info shows what is inside a video or audio file: duration, file size, overall bitrate, container format, and details for each video and audio track. It also lists metadata such as creation date, device and location, with a button to open the location in Maps. Nothing in your files is changed.

Questions about Media Info

How do I find a video's codec on Mac?

Drop the file into Media Info. The video and audio tracks show their codecs along with resolution, frame rate and sample rate.

Can I see where and when a video was recorded?

If the file stores it, Media Info shows the creation date, device and location, and can open the location in Maps. Otherwise it tells you that no such metadata is stored.

Does it change my files?

No. Media Info only reads files. You can export the results as JSON for one file or all of them.
