# Inspect Video Metadata

> Inspect a video’s container, codecs, resolution, aspect ratio, duration, audio, and file size.

Canonical URL: https://video.teccurrent.com/inspect-video

## How it works

The browser reads the file header and stream information without converting the video.

## Result

A report with container, codecs, dimensions, aspect ratio, duration and size.

## Limitations

Inspection reports technical properties; it does not judge quality or repair damaged media.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does inspection modify the file?

No. The original is read-only and no output file is created.

### Why can codec and extension differ?

MP4 and MOV are containers; their video tracks can use codecs such as H.264 or HEVC.
