Hi there, just a quick note to let you know that a new version of MediaInfo Mac (0.7.6.30) has been released, not only it includes several bugfixes and improvements in the Cocoa arena, but also a new build of the MediaInfo engine which features the following improvements:

• AVC: Count of reference frames.
• AU: Comments.
• Some global speed improvement.
• Id3v2: Unsynchronized frames support (v2.3 & v2.4).
• MKV: handling of files created for streaming.
• MPEG-4: Handling of corrupted stream size info with some PCM streams.
• DVD video: Hebrew patch ("iw" code is mapped to Hebrew).
• MPEG-4: better handling of bitrate mode (VBR or CBR).
• AVI: MediaInfo reads now the framerate value from the container rather than the stream value.
• AC3: TrueHD detection.
• MPEG-TS (or Bluray): VC-1, AC3+ and AC3 TrueHD detection.
• AVC in MKV: all SEI userdata infos from x264/eavc in Writing library settings.
• EVO: Better detection of duration.
• Dirac: raw files parsing.
• MPEG-TS: Dirac management.
• MPEG-TS: DVB subtitles/Teletext management.
• MPEG-4 Visual (DivX/XviD): writing library name was missing.
• MPEG-Video: some DTS files with wrong extension were detected as MPEG-Video.
• SWF: Compressed SWF files support is back.

If you are an actual user, just launch the application and use the auto update feature, or you can get the latest version by visiting the official MediaInfo Mac website.

As usual, feel free to leave any comment or suggestion in here.

Enjoy

You should consider this piece of software my "hello world" project in the Mac development arena, because, even the fact that i have pretty good skills when it comes to OO development, I'm totally new when it comes to the Mac, and I'm using this project mainly as a learning experience.

Attention: download links were moved

In order to keep things organized, the download links and general information for MediaInfo Mac were moved into this new website.

In the past few days i have been working in a full Aqua version of a linux tool called "Mediainfo", so this is the result.
Let me introduce you to "MediaInfo Mac".

MediaInfo Mac does just one thing: it gives you a lot of information about multimedia files, even files that QuickTime can't read, and it does that by using a custom Universal Binary build of the linux library "libmediainfo" by Jerome Martinez as its core.
This application is obviously OpenSource and i will make all the sources available as soon as i finish cleaning the code and configuring an SVN repository on this server.
MediaInfo Mac requires any PowerPC or Intel Macintosh computer running MacOS X 10.4 "Tiger" or newer.
If you have any question or suggestion, feel free to leave your comment below :).

A BIG thank you goes to Rainer Brockerhoff, (who is a true monster in the Macintosh development area), for having the patience to answer a lot of my questions, and also, to the guys at #macdev on freenode for helping me to understand a lot of things in the "Cocoa Arena". Thank you, i really appreciate your time.

In order to keep things in organized, anything in relation with MediaInfo Mac is going to be on this new website.

IF you are any kind of software tracker, there is a feed with MediaInfo updates, and it is compatible with the AppCast definition.
