QCTools is a handy tool for analyzing the quality of a video through filtering and audiovisual analytics. It is also useful for conversion program and video codecs comparison.

You can visually analyze a video through multiple filters which include Histogram, Waveform, Waveform Target, Line Select, Vectorscope, Vectorscope Target, Extract Planes Equalized, Extract Planes UV Equalized, Saturation Highlight, and more. These filters allow you to easily recognize any inconsistencies within the playback at the frame level making it much easier to spot them.

QCTools supports drag n' drop - as soon as the selected video is placed it immediately begins to process it. Once processing is concluded it will provide you with various technical measurement data including TOUTav, TOUTc, Uav, Vav, Yav, Yrang, SATb, SATi, BRNGav, BRNGc, and MSEfy. The playback window includes two viewing options which you may be set to different combinations of filters.

VideoInspector is a tools designed to provide you with as much information as possible about your video files. With VideoInspector you'll know why your video files has no sound or refuses to play correctly. VideoInspector will help you installing the required CoDecs (coder/decoder software) for an optimal performance. VideoInspector can also inspect your system to find which codecs are available, and it can also process multiple video files and export its result in HTML or plain text files.

DSF/MFT Viewer is a DirectShow Filter (DSF) and Media Foundation Transorm (MFT) Viewer able to display various information about splitters, filters, decoders, etc installed on computer.

DirectShow provides a set of default filters in Windows. These filters support many data formats while providing a high degree of hardware independence. An application can also register and install custom filters on the target system.

Media Foundation transforms (MFTs) provide a generic model for processing media data. MFTs are used for decoders, encoders, and digital signal processors (DSPs). In short, anything that sits in the media pipleine between the media source and the media sink is an MFT.

DSF/MFT Viewer displays detailed information on the right side of main window and allows you to register or unregister the files.

In addition, the meaning of the numbers that appear in front of the name is as follows:

1. 32: DSF / MFT 32bit applications
2. 64: DSF / MFT 64bit applications
3. 3264: DSF / MFT available from both the 32bit and 64bit

Added support to check information about HEVC Video Extension and MPEG2 Video Extension
Added some subtype names

Discontinued support for WindowsXP
