It was the greatest tool I used for gathering info on video files (the tabular view, recursive folder scan, etc...) until I found out that some critical info is reported wrong way too often, such as duration, frame rate, bit rate, etc ... I now have to double check with GSpot every time, very annoying. This is the best and the worst tool at the same time. Not supporting a large range of types is perfectly fine but reporting inaccurate info on the ones claimed to be supported is completely wrong, even for a freeware.
