I just learned about, and installed, Nero InfoTool (thank you pdf256) and have a few questions.

1. Are the play time, region and video format accurate?
2. Is the date listed the DVD release date?
3. Is the publisher the same as studio?

1. Play time is not accurate. It looks at one of the titles on the DVD, not the entire DVD. Region is as far as I know accurate (except for RCE and some weird Warner releases of early Disney Classics is the UK). I have no idea about the video format

2. No. It's the date the DVD was authored (as far as I know)
3. Have never looked at that field myself, but I wouldn't think so

If it's looking at the longest title on the Disc, it could be a fair representation of the running time of the main feature.  However, I feel that it's best to simply watch the main feature and see how long the DVD player says the track is.

It doesn't. I have had it report running time of 0 minutes (prolly the menu)

The longest track on the disc it typically the movie.  But I've seen cases where some bonus feature was longer than the actual movie.  So it's not always true.  Also, the first title (track 1) is usually the main feature, but I've seen that rule broken as well.  Like the Dr. said, the best way is to use your DVD player to see the running time if that's an option.

As mentioned before, absolutely do not mistake the date produced by Nero InfoTool with release date.  The two have absolutely nothing to do with eachother.

Kathy,

I use it to check the number of layers and for region data. Most of the time it will report the same running time as your DVD player, but as others have posted it may list the time of the menu or the first preview. PowerDVD reports where you are in the movie and the total running time. The date that it shows is often the date that the master was created, which should be before the release date.

I was never sure about the number of layers; I'm a bit distrustful of the covers since I've found so many spelling errors. So when I saw that you used that tool I downloaded it but then I got curious about all the other data that was available. I should have known it was too easy to be accurate in everything but it didn't hurt to ask!
