bdinfo-rs is a memory-safe, statically-linked command-line Blu-ray disc analyzer developed by publisher agentjp, designed as a drop-in replacement for the classic BDInfo tool. Written in Rust with zero C dependencies, it is distributed as a single static binary that requires no runtime and no DLLs, simplifying deployment across systems. The software scans BDMV folder structures and .iso disc images, parsing playlists, clips, and performing M2TS demuxing to produce the classic human-readable disc report familiar to BDInfo users. Its reports include detailed per-stream video and audio specifications, covering codecs, measured bitrates, resolution, HDR, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ metadata. This makes bdinfo-rs suitable for media archivists, home theater enthusiasts, video professionals, and anyone who needs to inspect or verify the technical characteristics of Blu-ray disc content before ripping, encoding, or cataloging. Typical use cases include auditing disc structures, comparing stream quality across releases, confirming high dynamic range formats present on a disc, and generating documentation of disc contents for media libraries. The tool falls within the disc analysis and media inspection category of multimedia utilities. Because it reimplements BDInfo functionality in Rust, it offers memory safety guarantees while remaining compatible with the established report format that users of the original tool expect. The current version of bdinfo-rs is 4.0.0, and the project has published six versions in total, indicating ongoing development and maintenance. Its combination of a dependency-free static build, cross-format input support for both folder-based and image-based disc structures, and comprehensive stream reporting positions it as a modern alternative for Blu-ray analysis workflows that previously relied on the legacy BDInfo application.
