     Huh!? "Installed WMPL,"? Wasn't 'Windows Media Player Legacy' already   
   on your Windows 11 system? (It was/is on mine.)   
      
     Anyway, have you tried to just right-click the file in File Explorer,   
   select Properties and look at the 'Details' tab? For a normal video   
   file, File Explorer will mention the Length, Frame width and height,   
   Data rate, Total bitrate, Frame rate and Audio specs.   
      
     If that does not help, the MediaInfo utility mentioned by Paul is   
   probably your best bet.
