Usage

• Add a reference to MediaInfoNET.dll to your project and import the MediaInfoNET namespace.

VB:

Imports MediaInfoNET

CS:

using MediaInfoNET;

• Create an object of the MediaFile class and pass the file path as a parameter. The file properties can be read from the MediaFile object.

VB:

Dim aviFile As MediaFile = New MediaFile("C:\Sample.avi")

CS:

MediaFile aviFile = new MediaFile("C:\Sample.avi");

• Download the latest copy of MediaInfo.dll from the MediaInfo website (32-bit DLL without installer) or use the file that is included with the MediaInfoNET download package. Place MediaInfo.dll in the application directory.

Complete Examples:

VB:

Imports MediaInfoNET

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim aviFile As MediaFile = New MediaFile("C:\Sample.avi")

        Console.WriteLine()
        Console.WriteLine("General ---------------------------------")
        Console.WriteLine()
        Console.WriteLine("File Name   : {0}", aviFile.Name)
        Console.WriteLine("Format      : {0}", aviFile.General.Format)
        Console.WriteLine("Duration    : {0}", aviFile.General.DurationString)
        Console.WriteLine("Bitrate     : {0}", aviFile.General.Bitrate)

        If aviFile.Audio.Count > 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine()
            Console.WriteLine("Audio ---------------------------------")
            Console.WriteLine()
            Console.WriteLine("Format      : {0}", aviFile.Audio(0).Format)
            Console.WriteLine("Bitrate     : {0}", aviFile.Audio(0).Bitrate.ToString())

            Console.WriteLine("Sampling    : {0}", aviFile.Audio(0).SamplingRate.ToString())
        End If

        If aviFile.Video.Count > 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine()
