When looking at a folder that contains video files, in both Windows 10 and 11, if you choose to view details, you can add a column that will show the dimensions of the video files. However, I compress all my videos as HEVC (H.265) in an MKV container. Windows doesn't seem to be able to figure out the dimensions for this type of video and won't display it. Interestingly, it's not totally stupid about these videos because it will display the length properly.
I know that that there are many utilities such a Media Info, and even players like VLC that can display the dimensions, but I'm wondering if there is a way to allow File Explorer to do this. It's just handy to be able to see the dimensions of all videos in a folder at once and to sort based on the dimensions.
Note that I already have the HEVC Codec add-on from Microsoft installed on my system.
