[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 813884, member: 18896"] MediaInfo reads your mediafile and gets information such as runtime, resolution, framerate, video-codec, video bitrate, audio-codec, audio-bitrate, etc. This information can then be used by MovingPictures (via the skin you use) to show an AC3 and 1080p icon when you have an MKV file that matches that.
