I am having some trouble with HD files created for upload to Vimeo (separate topic in HD) but I was wondering as part of that if anybody knows of a utility program that will identify an video file - what it is, resolution, bitrate, codecs required, etc. etc. etc.
The reason I am asking is that I created two QuickTime files at different resolutions (I think!) and yet they file sizes are almost identical. I want to know what is actually in there.
Thanks...

GSpot doesn't quite do all that, but it sure gives you a lot of information on your file, including codecs. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm

Thanks Steve - good idea - but GSpot only supports AVI files. It does in fact give a lot of the info that I wanted (for AVI), but the files in question are QuickTime.

Doesn't the QT player give you these in the movie properties? Maybe you have to have the pro version to see these properties.

Thank you Ed. Yes, there is a "Show Movie Inspector" option that does display the information I was looking for - and you don't need Pro to access it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me why an 864x480 .mov file is the same size as a 1280x720 .mov file when everything else (frame rate, data rate, etc.) is identical.

Thanks, Bob
Odd. I just downloaded GSpot yesterday and got V 2.2. I went back to day and got 2.7, which does decode some .mov stuff. Better late than ever!
