I haven't seen other people report this so thought I would mention it. Often while using ViMM and even after it is closed (often by force-quit), my fans are running on overdrive. This time I checked the CPU in Activity Monitor. It was nearly 100% used by mediainfo, half a dozen entries. I quit those and it settled down quickly.
Marius, if you have trouble with mediainfo and want to consider another option, there is another command-line program called ffprobe (part of the Ffmpeg project). It can give results in a variety of machine-readable formats, including JSON, which I gather you are already using for something else. http://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html But I tried and it doesn't seem to be able to directly read the files on my system that are causing problems for mediainfo/ViMM - for me these are ISOs that have AVCHD inside (the BDMV stuff). But if you open it all up and drill down to the m2ts file and give it that, it reads it fine.
