This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: which frame rate?

Interesting stuff re: 5D. Is there a program that could look at say several hundred clips and yield info on frame rates, resolution, etc. so I can sort them before bringing them into Symphony. I recently got a hard drive full of clips with groups of different frame rates, different aspect rations, different resolutions, and of course, different audio parameters.

Videospec http://videospec.free.fr/english/ does it but displays the clip info in a horizontal format, but hey, its free. Is there anything else like this which can sort them by defined parameters?
