Nice, simple program used to view detailed codec, bitrate, and other useful information about audio and video files. The Linux version works great in Mint and Lubuntu.
It is clean and works fine.

:-( "MediaInfo" app has adWare in the installer ! (v0.7.76)
It installed “Active Discount” and the ridiculous sounding
"open Photoshop" in the Add/Remove programs and Chrome extensions
IF you install the software from the developers homepage.
use this site instead and download the portableApp version

I cleaned my system with AdwCleaner and herdprotect

Which is recognized to be OpenCandy. thus making you a definite target for ads. And potentially more dangerous types of malware.

while i checked Neutral at my opinion I do like this Program a lot. unfortunately I'll be sticking with the version 0.7.60 until i find an alternative.

I use Media Info constantly when I'm working with video. The information it provides is especially helpful when you want to convert to a different format and want to keep the same quality.
