Video file viewer
I need a simple program to be able to view the specs (video type, aspect ratio e.t.c.) of a video file. Any one you recommend?

I was going to say QuickTime Pro, but that costs money.
VLC VideoLAN - VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player is free. Example info window below: |

For the Mac side VLC or Movist. Add in Perian to get common video codecs not installed natively on the Mac.

I thought he wanted to see the specs, not actually watch the movies.
For specs I suggest G-Spot or Mediainfo. I am unsure if they have equivalents on a Macintosh.

Thanks Perrone. G-Spot is the one I wanted.

Glad you got what you needed.
Just in case anyone else was wondering, MediaInfo Mac MediaInfo Mac :: Multimedia file analyzer for the Macintosh would show the information without actually opening the video file if for some reason that was a problem. |

MediaInfo is available for PC as well, it's not Mac only.
I have been using a portable version of it on Windows 7 for over a year now. Works on XP as well, and you don't even have to install it. It gives you a lot more info (practically everything) compared to G-spot which I used for years before I found MediaInfo. |
