Batch Media Info Supporter is a free Windows utility created by developer TSDarkness to act as a frontend GUI wrapper for the popular MediaInfo CLI engine. It automates the extraction of structural data, technical specs, and embedded tags from huge queues of video and audio files.
Instead of manually examining files one by one, this tool processes entire folders and automatically formats the output into clean, organized tags or report sheets. Key Automation Features
Mass Directory Ingestion: Drag and drop hundreds of files or entire folder hierarchies simultaneously.
Format Verification: Automatically flags if a media file fails to conform to your exact required format constraints.
Tag & Property Extraction: Instantly scans containers to pull technical tags like video codecs, resolution, bitrates, frame rates, audio channels, and underlying embedded tag info.
Structured Exports: Compiles parsed metadata directly into external logs, .txt files, or .nfo scripts. Step-by-Step Guide to Automating File Tagging
Because the standard MediaInfo GUI can only natively export a single grouped text sheet, using Batch Media Info Supporter allows you to split, isolate, and assign automated values seamlessly. 1. Prepare Your Media Sources
Group all target audio or video assets into a single parent folder directory.
Clear out any corrupted or zero-byte files to prevent batch queue timeouts. 2. Set Up the Metadata Parameters
Launch Batch Media Info Supporter and direct its path to your core MediaInfo.exe command-line executable.
Configure your target tag attributes inside the options interface (e.g., pulling General file variables like %FileName% or Video properties like %BitRate%). 3. Execute the Batch Scan
Import the parent folder path into the application interface.
Click the process action to let the tool systematically parse through every sub-file loop.
The interface will track your active pipeline queue, showing completed assets vs remaining files. MediaInfo CLI Mastery: Complete Container Analysis Guide
