Practical Use Cases for Video Metadata Viewer
Inspecting Video Codecs & HDR Color Spaces (Rec.709 vs Rec.2020 / HLG / HDR10)
Verify whether a 4K video file contains 10-bit HDR10 color metadata (PQ / BT.2020) or standard 8-bit SDR (Rec.709) before color grading.
Auditing Drone & Action Camera GPS Flight Metadata
Extract embedded camera make, lens focal length, GPS coordinate tracks, and gimbal metadata stamps embedded inside drone MP4 video streams.

Key Terminology & Definitions
MP4 `moov` Atom
The metadata index container in an MP4 file that stores information about video tracks, timescale, resolution, and sample chunk locations.
Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) vs Display Aspect Ratio (DAR)
PAR is the aspect ratio of individual pixels (which can be non-square in anamorphic video); DAR is the physical aspect ratio of the rendered display frame.
