After Robert Jan van der Waals, the origin developer of Data Crow, last year announced the end of his project (http://www.datacrow.net/#news), now it seems like it could continiue... https://sourceforge.net/p/datacrow/discussion/650036/

Hmmm, the first activities by the new main project developer were very promising. But by now, his last activity on sourceforge has been one year ago, as well as the last activity of the origin developer Robert Jan van der Waals. No goodby or something like this. See you tomorow and they were never seen again...

Data Crow development has been picked up again since end of year 2022 by, well, me (the original developer of Data Crow). |
Video Duplicate Finder is a cross-platform software (Windows and Linux) to find duplicated video (and image) files based on content similarity. That means unlike other duplicate finders, it is capable of identifying duplicates having a different resolution, frame rate or even watermarked. The scanning speed is incredibly fast, and the metadata is cached for an even faster rescan.
Category: | |
Runs on: | Win10 |
Writes settings to: | Application folder, in Settings.xml and ScannedFiles.db. |
Dependencies: | .NET v3 |
Stealth: ? | No. Writes a log file to appdata\Local\Microsoft\CLR_v4.0\UsageLogs\VideoDuplicateFinderWindows.exe.log |
Unicode support: | Yes |
License: | Freeware/Open Source |
How to extract: | Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch VideoDuplicateFinderWindows.exe. |
Pazera Free Audio Extractor takes the audio from most major video files without loss of sound quality or converts them to a variety of common audio formats. The program can also behave as a simple conversion tool from one audio format to another (e.g. AAC to MP3).
Some supported formats include (audio) MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WAV, ALAC, WavPack, AIFF; (video) AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, VOB, MKV, WebM and OGV.
Note: By default, the program will extract/convert to MP3. Select "Try extract original audio stream" to avoid re-encoding, which is faster but may result in a format that some devices can't read. The program has a number of predefined settings (profiles) specially designed for novice users, but you can also customize audio encoding and output parameters.

Really impressed by this program. The various features, especially co-browsing, whiteboard, and and are unique, easy and effective. I preferred the interface over Skype and other similar messenger tools. |
HamMultiPlayer displays one or more media files for analysis in real time. It can be used to find, move, delete or preview any video/audio file. The program can scan drives and directories, and then sort a generated list. Intended primarily to help videographers look through lots of footage, the program can also make it easy to find and eliminate duplicated or similar files.
The program uses Mplayer and MediaInfo Library to decode and display files, playing everything Mplayer can play.
Functional in 64-bit and supports multiple monitors.

Hi Kanu,

Sorry if I sounded hostile but the web says 'This is a "portable" software, this means that everything is already included inside the ".exe" (no installation, no registry keys, ...)'.

@Kanu: Different sites have different definitions for portable but here "Stealth" is the term used when a program doesn't modify files outside of it's application folder (including the registry). HamMultiPlayer is not stealth but is portable. Please post in forums if you'd like to discuss further. |

You're welcome webfork. And oh, I forgot to mention that it works on my Win 8.1 x64 too. |
DriveSort directly reads directory tables of FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 formatted volumes, allowing users to view file listings in the order they were written.
Recent operating systems re-sort file lists before display, either by name, by size, or by whatever the user chooses. However, the firmware of playing devices -- like small MP3 players, for example -- sometimes behaves differently, mostly because they lack necessary resources (CPU, memory), a problem developers usually solve by dis/playing files in the order they are written on the storage medium -- normally, the order they were added.
Additionally, DriveSort is able to change that ordering, making itself useful for re-arranging movies, series episodes, audio or picture files on FATx formatted media; afterwards, players will be able to reproduce files in the expected sequence.

PlayTime quickly calculates the total play time of a list of most any music or movie file. Features a drag-and-drop interface and can export all/selected rows to a spreadsheet (CSV). Total time is automatically calculated when you add/remove files from the list.
