How Video Metadata Reading Works
The Video Metadata Reader extracts and displays detailed technical information from video files including codec, resolution, bitrate, frame rate, duration, and audio stream details. Upload a video file to instantly view all embedded metadata without playing the video.
Key Features
- ✓Extract codec, resolution, and bitrate information
- ✓Display frame rate, duration, and aspect ratio
- ✓Read audio stream details (channels, sample rate)
- ✓Show file size and container format details
Pro Tip
When troubleshooting video playback issues, check the codec first. H.264 (AVC) is the most universally compatible video codec. If your video uses H.265 (HEVC) or AV1 and will not play, transcode to H.264.
