Collecting Video Samples for Video Metadata Tests
 
|
Hi all, I am currently working on the issue #813 (Exiv2) - Video Metadata Support (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/813), as my GSOC project. The project also concern solving the bug, #164442, in DigiKam. Extending Exiv2 to access/interpret video metadata is the fundamental part of this project. Unfortunately, the format of the metadata information stored in video files varies from camera to camera, and Camera Manufactures as well. So I would like to collect a set of sample videos for testing to ensure that Exiv2 will be able to read the metadata from the widest possible set of files. If you have a camera that can record videos, you can help by recording a short video and attaching it to this Forum post (http://dev.exiv2.org/boards/3/topics/1189), as a reply, if you are a member of Exiv2 community as well. Or you can directly mail the video to my email address. My email-id is, [hidden email] The video can be as short as you like (1 second is fine) and can be at low resolution since we're only interested in the metadata. I need as many samples as possible so if anyone possesses more than one camera, then please upload/send samples from all camera. It could also be videos recorded from your mobile/cell phones as well, since nearly all mobile makers now do support camera functionality. You may also send me link of the sample video, if you already have any uploaded video sample (original content only). One Important Note - Please attach only self made videos. Also I need permission to publish (publicly on a wiki page) the video, that you submit. So if you contribute, I would be considering that you have permitted the publishing of the video as well. If you have any problem attaching the file or have any query, you are always welcome to mail me directly. --Regards, Abhinav Badola _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel

Abhinav,
I recommend you to post also an announce in G+ and Facebook digiKam group to have a better chance to found somebody who send you any video sample... https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/100127992760143250422/100127992760143250422 http://www.facebook.com/digikam Best Gilles Caulier 2012/7/4 Abhinav Badola <[hidden email]>: > Hi all, > > I am currently working on the issue #813 (Exiv2) - Video Metadata Support > (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/813), as my GSOC project.
