View bit rate for all videos in a folder

[tain]

I'd like to find software that will display the bit rate for all videos in a folder. I've found tools that will display the bitrate of a video, but only one video at a time. I'd like the information presented in a list format so that I can easily locate videos of certain bit rates.

Any suggestions?

You could mass import them into Ant Movie Catalog and then sort by bitrate. Not a simple solution but it would work.

Thanks for the suggestion. While investigating, I found this program which is intended to work with AMC. So I just imported the CSV into OO.org and that gave me the info I needed. Thanks!

very nice, all i saw was a batch script that would create a list of filenames to import

Yeah, I saw that first but wasn't happy with that. So further investigation revealed a better solution

Sorting by bit rate hasn't proved as fruitful as I'd hoped, though. I was really trying to sort out video files with exceptionally low and exceptionally high overall quality. But that depends on lots of things like codec, compression software, resolution, bit rate, etc. Any recommendation for how to sort by actual visual quality?

The program I linked to earlier, AVIList, works well except that it is limited to AVI files (no surprise there). I'm still looking for software that will do this for all video types. Or at least one that will process the various types of mpeg.

Any ideas?
