Greetings.

I'm also trying to figure something out & hope

MSFN might point me in the direction of a solution.

On one of my three XP laptops, Windows Explorer & xplorer² display

bitrate, duration & dimension info (correctly) for avi files.

I'm not sure why this is so on only one of the XP laptops.

Maybe someone might have some idea why these columns

can work properly in XP for avi files? I would like to tweak

the other two XP laptops, so they show that info for avi files too.

Any helpful replies/insights appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you have those columns turned on?

Try installing the same video codecs from the first labtop that display the bitrates correctly to the other two.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\video

The video InfoTip setting for instance contains those additional variables:

EpisodeName, ProgramDescription, Duration, Bitrate, Dimensions, Protected

Thanks for the replies.

I'm talking about the columns bitrate, duration & dimensions NOT the popup info.

In any case I had already looked at the registry popup settings.

I also use ABCavi which gives much better avi popup info.

Lastly I am pleased to say I found the solution.

Now the bitrate, duration & dimensions columns work for avi files in x² (& all file explorers).

Maybe you`d like to share your solution with others?

Thanks for asking ...

I'm all for "information sharing".

"Sharing" means that I would receive solutions

as well as post solutions that I've found.

If one reviews my posting experience here @ MSFN,

one would find that (with one small exception)

I've never received any solutions here @ MSFN.

I've solved numerous questions I've posted here

and elsewhere on the web on my own.

If I post every solution I've found myself,

then I would be giving everything and receiving nothing.

Others would not agree, but I've found MSFN to be a most worthless forum.

Thank you.
