You DO NOT have to do all this. You can simply Right-Click on the file and select MediaInfo from there and it will bring the tree up with all the files details. Then, just copy and paste it into where ever you're putting it. As easy as that.

YES THAT IS POSSIBLE ON THE NEW VERSION

tis true, still better to have a step by step guide for those that have no clue about,
open the file in media or open media and drag and drop, same difference...
i don't use tree, custom or text only.. and for mediainfo to bring up tree or whichever one you prefer,
by the right click option you have to set it for that preference or it will just open up 'basic' by default..

thanks for the information.
however, you wrote about submitting to search engines.
but they say that it is not needed to submit to search engines at all
and they find new web sites as they crawl the web.
