MediaAnalyst 2.0

  • Did you spend many hours for the download of a video or a music file and now you find out that your computer does not play it?

  • Media Analyst Box You will find a good support in these (and other) cases with the Media Analyst software, a tool for the detailed analysis of video clips and audio files of nearly all formats, designs and tastes. Though this does not yet make your computer an all-you-can-eat-device, it will provide a large amount of information, e.g. on how the problematic video is composed. And on top you get the possibility to outsmart your DVD-player by simply changing the identification of a clip, from Xvid to DivX for example.
  • The software recognizes and analyses the following video file formats: ASF, AVI, DIVX, MPG, MPEG, M1V, M2V, TS, MP4, M4A, M4P, MKV, MKA, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, AVS, MP3, OGG, WAV and WMA.
  • MediaAnalyst 2.0 Screenshot The respective clip can be loaded via drag & drop or a file selection menu. The displayed file info includes in addition to general details like name, size and playing time the bit rate, display of metadata (e.g. ID3Tag for MP3) as well as DRM and file format.




    Detailed information on all audio- & video streams

    The latter are - among others - AVI (DV Type-1/2, DivX), MPEG (MPEG 1/2, VCD, SVCD, MPEG-M1V, MPEG-M2V, VOB), MP4 (e.g. Nero Digital), 3GP, 3G2, PSP, WMV, ASF (e.g. Nintendo DS), Ogg, MKV (Matroska), DVD, MVR, DVD+, QuickTime (MOV) and Real Media.
  • Supported audio formats are Wave, MP3, MPA, MPEG-M1A, MPEG-M2A, Matroska Audio, Real Media Audio, AIFF, AIFC, AU, IFF, PAF, SD2, SF, VOC, V64, MAT, PVF, XI, HTK, SDS, AVR, AC3, DTS, LPCM, AAC, APE, MAC, FLAC, CDXA, Audio CD, Vorbis and AMR.
  • As for the supported DRM-techniques, these are "iTunes protected", "iTunes free", "Windows Media 9 protected", "Windows Media 9 free", "Windows Media 10 protected", "Windows Media 10 free", "DivX protected", "DivX free", "css protected", "css free" and "css wrong region".

  • Change FourCC and outsmart the player

  • As special extra the program allows to change the FourCC for avi video files. FourCC is a small structure within the AVI-video file, which identifies the video codec that was used for creation. Hardware players use this identification to decide whether a video is supported or not. Many DivX/DVD-players for instance are calibrated to search for DIV3, DIV4, DX50 or DIVX identifications and to reject other videos - which of course not always suits the consumer.
  • Finally, DivX is a normal MPEG-4-codec and special DivX-players are compatible to videos, which were coded with other codecs of the same design, as long as the respective profiles are kept. This applies e.g. for HDX4 and Xvid, but also for other MPEG-4-codecs. In many cases where a player rejects a video it is sufficient to simply change the identification and outsmart the device.

Press comments

  • Maybe you know the problem of having loaded a video- or audio file from the Internet but the computer is absolutely not able to play it? [...] Which codec was used, which bit rate, which frame rate?

    The freeware Media Analyst 2.0 helps the user in precisely this case!
