MediaInfo is a splendid tool, let me add my thanks to all who work on it!

Just upgraded to MediaInfo 0.7.69 and thought I'd once more try the tooltip capability to see if it works properly with this new version. Unfortunately it still doesn't (under my Windows 8.0 anyway).

In fact, this time I found that it's inconsistent, which should indicate something about the nature of the problem: I get tooltips appearing with some mp4 files but not others, with some avi files but not others, and with some mkv files but not others.

To me this seems to indicate that it's not a matter of "some other program has taken over the shell integration for the MP4 file type" as mentioned in thread http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/328969-media-info-not-showing-the-video-properties-of-mp4-files-when-pointing, since it happens with [at least] those three different file types and not just with mp4 files.

Why such inconsistency? What does it suggest is going wrong? Missing metadata in some of the files, or some such thing?
