Media Info Lite can also be downloaded from http://codecguide.com/download_other.htm. Its for Windows users.

Once installed allows you right-click on a media file from Windows Explorer and get MediaInfo information from the context menu.

HI
you can use https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline to read media info.

It's purely local.
No media is transmitted over the internet.
It uses a compiled library for WASM.

Bye
