MovieScanner for Mac

MovieScanner for Mac shows you the audio and video attributes of your movies and clips in a straightforward list. This small utility comes free of charge and is extremely basic, offering little in terms of features. Still, it lets you easily add files and folders, as well as search files by name with live filtering.

When launched, MovieScanner for Mac presents you with a very minimal interface that consists of a single toolbar and a space for a list of items. There is no menu system or app preference menu. Once you add some movies, you will be able to see information about them such as aspect ratio, video quality, resolution, size, format, audio and video encoders, audio channels, length, and if present, subtitles. This list of entries can be sorted in both ascending and descending order by name, extension, size, and directory, as well as filtered in real time by title. The toolbar also features options to refresh the movie database or clear it. In our tests, loading a folder with ten videos took only a second.

If you're looking for an app that displays technical information about your video files, MovieScanner for Mac can be of use. While extremely minimal, this free utility provides enough information to get by, and when combined with the tooltip support for most objects, is accessible even to novice users.
