    Showing Video Aspect Ratio in File Info Tooltip


    Is there a way to show the aspect ratio of video files in the Windows Explorer file tooltips?
    A few hours of research taught me how to add extra file info that isn't there by default (like frame height x width) but for some reason I can't get the aspect ratio to show.
    This is the registry info I tweaked and each property worked except aspect ratio:
    Code: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp4] "InfoTip"="prop:System.ItemType;System.Size;System.Media.Duration;System.Video.FrameWidth;System.Video.FrameHeight;System.Video.HorizontalAspectRatio;System.Video.VerticalAspectRatio;System.DateModified"[/quote] The property syntax I got from Video (Windows)
    Can anyone else figure out why it doesn't work?

    :)

  2. N8 with BELLE .. attributes of NOTE change always without change...

    With Anna was enough to click on
    the top left corner to change the video aspect ratio
    when watching a video..now with Belle is
    more difficult .. click on the bottom, change aspect ratio...
    was it really necessary?

  3. Burn a DVD in Windows 10 with full aspect ratio on DVD player playback

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    If you know what kind of screen you or your audience will use to watch the final DVD, you should use that information to decide which aspect ratio to select. For example, if you know that you will be watching the DVD on a 16:9
    (widescreen) monitor or TV, select the 16:9 setting. However, if you plan to watch the DVD primarily on a 4:3 (standard) TV or monitor, you should select
    4:3.

    The setting you select determines the aspect ratio for your slide show for your DVD. For more information about how to select the aspect ratio setting in Windows DVD Maker.

    1. On the
    Add pictures and video to the DVD page, click
    Options.

    2. You can find an option aspect ratio:

    DVD aspect ratio. This option lets you determine if a slide show on the DVD is displayed at a
    4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is expressed as the relation of the width to the height of the slide show. When deciding which aspect ratio
    to choose, consider the aspect ratio for the monitor or TV on which your slide show will be played.



    Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran

    Hi, it is possible to add those show they are shown in Properties, Details

    But the result does not seem very interesting.

    Here, using Mediatab, the aspect ratio is shown, which seems more useful.

    I also tried adding the fields to the Preview pane, but whilst I could remove e.g. the title line completely, adding these or another I tried did nothing.

    It seems some sort of limitation applies- which may be the case for Infotip.

    There used to be a parameter within Photo Gallery that would show detailed hover tips, but, I don't see it working in PG any longer.

    An indispensable Explorer add-on that does just that is QTTabBar:

    Aha! So it isn't me then. You couldn't get it working either, so it's one of those "Windows Things". OK, thanks so much for giving it a shot! I appreciate your time.

    I actually created expanded tooltips for images and audio as well and was able to get the info I wanted to pop up for each media type. The only thing I couldn't get to show was the aspect ratio for videos. Oh well.

    This QTTabBar looks interesting. I might give it a shot. I thought I had all the geeky add-ons already, lol. Thanks!

    My top screenshot shows those parameters (=1) so the result wasn't interesting, so they may not be useful.
    Note I didn't try specifically with the Tooltip parameter as I didn't want to fiddle with mine, but it's a similar parameter list. I was just curious as to whether those parameters could be used at all.

    Quizo's Qttabbar has a lot of options- reliable, except I find this odd thing happening in its options:
