mediainfo.dll is the library that returns media information about a file, this includes things such as codecs, resolution, aspect, scantype etc.
MC stores this information within the nfo files and some XBMC skins use these tags to display the above information about media.
You will find that it works without issue for normal media files (avi, mpg etc) but an IFO file is not a media container as such, it is a disk container that needs to be opened to read the media within. I suspect that mediainfo.dll actually extracts the whole file to obtain the information, this can take a very long time, especially if the file is located accross a network.
