Questions about video file metadata
When I right-click one video file, open Properties, then Details, it only shows the usual file data like file name, type, date created / modified, size and so on.

When I right-click another, .mkv, there are many almost entirely blank sections like Description, Video, Audio, Media, Origin, Content and lastly, File. Only Title, Length and Total bitrate (in Video) are filled, with Total bitrate being 0kbps for some reason. Also, a thumbnail is correctly embedded into this video file and it can be seen in Media Information in VLC as well as in other programs, but Windows Explorer just shows a giant VLC cone. Lastly, opening the Digital Signatures tab freezes the entire File Explorer and causes it to restart on its own.

Is there any way I can fix these issues? Windows 11 is up-to-date, ran SFC, cleared thumbnail cache, checked settings, it's all good. The video itself works flawlessly, it's not corrupt. Also, how can I clear all those empty sections so that it's only the same basic file data as with any other file? Why does it say 0kbps for Total bitrate?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and, even though it froze again in Digital Signatures, I left it alone while I was typing all this and suddenly, it loaded successfully (it's completely empty) instead of crashing and restarting on its own. It seems to crash and restart only if I repeatedly click cancel or X or whatever in the frozen window.

as for digital sig tab, dont do that
windows is trying to read the entire file to create it, large files can crash explorer and windows will restart it again

Yeah, but why some other video files only have that File section in Details, while this one has all sections, all of which are empty except Title, Length and Total bitrate which says 0kbps for some reason? Is there any way I could reduce it all down to just Details as it is with some other video files, or at least fix that bitrate? And yeah, it's a 50 GB UHD HDR file.
