Directory printer: Video info

ululator

Member
I have a slew of .wmv & .avi video files. I want to be able to create a list that includes the LENGTH (minutes & seconds) of each video – similar to the way a list of MP3s would include each song’s duration.

I have Karen’s Directory Printer, which gave me a nice listing of file names, file sizes, etc. – but it has no option for including wmv or avi Length.

I followed the “How to Add View and Print File Directory to the Context Menu in Vista” tutorial ( http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/146031-context-menu-add-view-print-file-directory.html ), but its listing doesn’t include Length either.

I’ve tried several Directory Printer programs – but none allowed for the Length option.

Both Media Monkey & iTunes show my MP4 videos only, so I can’t generate a list of wmv or avi properties from them. Windows Media Player playlists only show the file names when opened with Notepad, not any file properties.

I have far too many .wmv & .avi video files to transcribe that info by hand.

Does anyone know of a solution?

BTW, I have Vista 64 Home Premium.

That uses the CMD Shell's dir command to print the directory, which does not have the option to print out extended fields as you see in Windows Explorer. AFAICT, this will not help you accomplish what you want.

One easy way would be to use the Snipping Tool and make images of the Explorer windows that you can print out....
