README
mp4analyser #
This project is a Python/TkInter application that can read and display the structure and contents of "boxes" (AKA "atoms" in Quick Time documentation) within mp4 files that conform to ISO/IEC 14496-12 – MPEG-4 Part 12.I believe the use of Python allows any technically-minded individual to add their own "box" definitions as required. See wiki
Now able to parse files in Matroska or WebM format.
It should work on any platform that can run a Python interpreter and support TKinter.
