Scan your avi/mkv file to extract audio and video informations

is a simple application that can be used to scan an avi and matroska (.mkv) file and extract some informations about audio and video data flow:

• Video codec used
• Frame size
• Average video bitrate
• File size
• Total time
• Frame rate
• Total frames
• Info data
• Packet Bitstream
• User data (in MOVI chunk)
• Audio codec used
• Average audio bitrate
• Audio channels

With themonospot is also possible modify FourCC informations (FourCC code in video chunk and FourCC description in stream header) and also change some problematic UserData values for table players (it set the value to DivX999b000p)

Themonospot is multilanguage (from release 0.6.5) using language files in languages folder. You can modify or add your language yourself, see language files user guide.
