<p>I need to get video/codec information from several files (avi, matroska etc).
Is there any alternative to GSpot? 
GSpot is outdated with lack of support for mkv, ogm, 264 ...</p>

<p>I already know <a href="http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en" rel="nofollow">MediaInfo</a> (really good - doesnt go as deep as GSpot) and <a href="http://avicodec.duby.info/" rel="nofollow">AviCodec</a>.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

I already know [MediaInfo](http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) (really good - doesnt go as deep as GSpot) and [AviCodec](http://avicodec.duby.info/).

Thanks in advance for your help.
