  • What is the program to analyze video files?

    Posted by Jeff Schroeder on January 18, 2013 at 10:05 pm

    Hello group,

    I can’t seem to find post naming the program to analyze a video file. Not Gspot, but the other one.

    I have several MP4’s created on Adobe Premiere pro CS6 that crash Vegas Pro 11, and 12 on one computer and Vegas Movie Studio Platinum on another.

    Of course all I get is attitude because Adobe can’t possibly make a bad file, it must be a Vegas problem.

    I want to get into this file and find out what made it.

    Jeff

    Jeff.. see the previous thread:
    David Falck Sony Vegas 12: Render As -> “An error occurred while creating the media file . Exception thrown by method called” dated Jan 12.
    In it John refers to some programs there. Hope that helps

    You’re probably thinking of MediaInfo

    As Mike said MediaInfo is the other one and it optionally installs as a Shell Extensions so that you can just right-click on a file in the windows explorer and get it’s info (which I highly recommend doing).

    [Jeff Schroeder] “Of course all I get is attitude because Adobe can’t possibly make a bad file, it must be a Vegas problem.”

    The probem may simply be that MP4 is too broad a specification with too many profiles and levels and combinations that just make it impossible for any one program to support all of the various combinations. So it may not be that Adobe has created a “bad” file… just an MP4 file that uses a profile that Vegas Pro doesn’t support. No blame, no attitude, just fact.
