Overview

The Stream Probe Report tool generates a detailed, readable analysis of your audio and video files, extracting critical metadata such as stream counts, codecs, dimensions, sample rates, bitrates, languages, and duration using ffprobe.

When to use

When you need to verify the exact video codec, resolution, or audio sample rate of a media file before editing or uploading.
When troubleshooting playback issues to check if a file contains unsupported audio tracks or subtitle streams.
When auditing a batch of media assets to ensure they meet specific technical delivery specifications.

How it works

1Upload your audio or video file using the media file input.
2The tool processes the file to extract stream metadata using ffprobe.
3View the generated HTML report detailing codecs, dimensions, bitrates, languages, and duration.

Use cases

Checking the resolution and aspect ratio of a video file before importing it into video editing software.
Verifying the audio codec and sample rate of a podcast recording to ensure compatibility with distribution platforms.
Inspecting multi-language video files to confirm all audio and subtitle tracks are correctly labeled.

Examples

1. Verifying Video Codec for Web Playback

Web Developer

Background

A developer needs to embed a user-submitted video on a website but wants to ensure it uses the H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec for maximum browser compatibility.

Problem

The video file's encoding details are unknown, and manual inspection is difficult without specialized desktop software.

How to use

Upload the video file to the Stream Probe Report tool.

Outcome

The tool generates an HTML report showing the video codec is H.264 and the audio codec is AAC, confirming it is safe for web deployment.

2. Auditing Audio Sample Rates for Podcast Mastering

Audio Engineer

Background

An engineer is preparing a final master for a podcast network that strictly requires 44.1 kHz WAV files.

Problem

The engineer needs to quickly verify the sample rate and bit depth of the exported audio file.

How to use

Upload the exported WAV file to the Stream Probe Report tool.

Outcome

The report displays a sample rate of 44100 Hz and confirms the codec is PCM 16-bit, verifying compliance with the network's delivery specifications.
