Software for the experts

I wanted an easy way to determine the video resolution of all my videos at once - easily.
I really wanted to find all my 1080p videos so I could convert them into the same quality 720p videos at about 30% the size.

Anyway.. I found it! And it's FREE!
https://mediaarea.net/us/MediaInfo/Download/Windows

There is a Graphic GUI version and Command Line CLI version. I guess I 'm too stupid to figure out their command line version.
The GUI is great. It has various ways of showing you what you want.. including having a "mediainfo" tab in the properties of each individual video and also you can do a batch analysis of every file in a directory and export the results.
I can see all the statistics including resolution of all my files at a glance!

As a side note. I used to be a computer programmer. The key phrase is USED TO BE. Programmers are paid slave wages, and ironically, the most powerful and useful software such as this utility is of very little commercial value.. so the frustrated programmer is giving it away for FREE! This happens all the time. For instance.. the best video player is arguably the free VLC from videolan.org. The best "office suite" is probably the Free "Libre Office" which has a better word processor, spreadsheet, database, and other crap than Microsoft Office.

It does not look like it is available for Windows 10

I have been using MediaInfo for several versions now.

I was wondering if you got multiple movies displayed in separate small windows or have worked out how to get a list in one window

99% of programs that work with 7 will work with 10.

That's because Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 all use the same basic kernel with only slight modifications. Once Micro$oft upgrades to the next base kernel package, it'll be Windows Vista all over again.
