Stream metadata
Stream metadata describes technical information about the audio and video streams inside a media file.
What stream metadata includes
Common stream details include duration, dimensions, estimated bitrate, codec information, and the presence of audio or video tracks.
Not every browser exposes every field, so some tools can only show a lighter stream overview.
Why stream metadata helps
Stream metadata is useful when you need to compare two exports, confirm a delivery spec, or understand why one media file behaves differently from another.
Even a short stream summary can tell you whether two files match in resolution, duration, or track layout before you spend time on deeper checks.
