abcAVI Tag Editor

abcAVI Tag Editor is compact utility for adding, browsing and changing textual information (tags) inside AVI files.

abcAVI is able to connect to Internet Movie Database and fills the tags with the information had queried. abcAVI has export function with editable report templates. You may export information on your AVI files in Excel, HTML, XML, Windows Media Player playlist etc.

abcAVI shows not only information tags but all the technical details in tree style and in short form including codecs names, exact bitrates, quality of compression and so on. It recognizes more than 770 FourCC and TwoCC codes (shows complete names of audio/video codecs used).

And at last it has InfoTips Shell Extension. It means when you place mouse cursor over the AVI file name, the "yellow note" with all the technical and textual information popups.
