Anyone know of some good software that will tell you loads of information about video files. Eg. Average video bit rate, audio bit rate, length etc etc.
I understand Quicktime gives you this information, but you have to start it up and run it for every video you want information for, so was just wondering if there was a more efficient 'drag & drop' method for finding out the info.

Thanks
 
Cellulo will do give a fair bit of info on a file, but not the bitrate, iirc. Possibly CatDV too, but I didn't find it to be very Mac-like, iyswim, and it's expensive. Maybe one of the other video cataloguing apps like iVideo, iDive? - I haven't tried them, so I'm just speculating there.

I too would like to see such an app as you describe.

I guess VideoSpec will do what you want. It kind of hangs quite often, specially if other applications making use of video codecs is open, but it does the work.
