Can metadata tell me whether a video will play smoothly?
No. A report describes the file, not the active decoder or dropped frames. Test a representative scene on your Mac before drawing a performance conclusion.
How do I get a MediaInfo or ffprobe report?
In MediaInfo, open the file and select Text or JSON output. With ffprobe installed, use ffprobe -v quiet -show_streams -of json followed by your file path. Paste the report here; the tool does not open the movie itself.
