| FileName |
In order to provide a concise presentation the filepaths are displayed from the directory path where the files diverge. Thus if two files are opened from /HardDrive1/videofiles/movies/videofile.avi and /HardDrive1/videofiles/spokenword/videofileB.avi then these will be displayed in the table view as /movies/videofile.avi and /spokenword/videofileB.avi since the /HardDrive1/videofiles section of the Filepath is common to the open files.
The CSV version of the Technical Metadata view displays the full filepath to each file. |
| FileSize |
The size of the video file in bytes. |
| Format |
This value represents the type of container utilized by the file, including profile information. Example: AVI (OpenDML). |
| Duration |
The total playing time, displayed in HH:MM:SS.mmm (hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) |
| Vid Format |
The name of the codec used to encode the video data. |
| Vid CodecID |
The four character code (fourCC) used by the AVI container to describe the video codec. This value is presented in ASCII characters. Below is a sample of compression codes:
| dvsd | DV 25 Mbps |
| DV50 | DV 50 Mbps |
| H264 | H.264 |
| IV30 | Indeo |
| JFIF | JPEG |
| LJ2K | JPEG 2000 |
| MP41 | MPEG-4 Visual |
| v210 | YUV 10 bit |
|
| Vid FrameRate |
The amount of frames per second intended for presentation on playback of the file. |
| Vid Width |
The number of pixel columns within the frames of the video stream. |
| Vid Height |
The number of pixel rows within the frames of the video stream. |
| Vid BitDepth |
The number of bits of data per channel per pixel that the video data will decode to. |
| Vid BitRate |
A measurement in bits per second for the video stream. |
| Aud Format |
The name of the codec used to encode the audio data. |
| Aud Format |
The two character code (twoCC) used by the AVI container to describe the audio codec. This value is presented in hexadecimal representation. Below is a sample of compression codes:
| 0000 | Unknown |
| 0001 | PCM / Uncompressed |
| 0002 | Microsoft ADPCM |
| 0006 | ITU G.711 a-law |
| 0007 | ITU G.711 Aµ-law |
| 0011 | IMA ADPCM |
| 0016 | ITU G.723 ADPCM (Yamaha) |
| 0031 | GSM 6.10 |
| 0040 | ITU G.721 ADPCM |
| 0050 | MPEG |
| FFFE | Extensible (used by Microsoft to provide a GUID as codec identifier) |
| FFFF | Experimental |
|
| Aud Channels |
The number of audio channels encoded within the audio stream. |
| Aud SampleRate |
The number of audio samples per second. |
| Aud BitRate |
The number of bits utilized per second of audio. |
| Aud BitDepth |
The number of bits of data per channel per sample that the audio data will decode to. |
| Tdat |
Notes the existance of the Tdat chunk, either 'Yes' or 'No'. The tdat chunk is often used in Grass Valley and Adobe AVI applications. |
| INFO |
Notes the existence of the INFO chunk, either 'Yes' or 'No'. |
| XMP |
Notes the existence of the XMP chunk, either 'Yes' or 'No'. Right-click on this cell provides options to Import, Export, or Remove xml data. Doubling-clicking on the cell brings a text editor. Changes are not made until the file is saved. |
| aXML |
Notes the existence of the aXML chunk, either 'Yes' or 'No'. Right-click on this cell provides options to Import, Export, or Remove xml data. Doubling-clicking on the cell brings a text editor. Changes are not made until the file is saved. |
| iXML |
Notes the existence of the iXML chunk, either 'Yes' or 'No'. Right-click on this cell provides options to Import, Export, or Remove xml data. Doubling-clicking on the cell brings a text editor. Changes are not made until the file is saved. |
| MD5 |
If an MD5 chunk exists, this column will show the stored value. This MD5 value is a checksum of the stream data only and does not include the file's metadata or any other chunk. |
| MD5 evaluated |
If the MD5 is evaluated it will appear in this column. Any conflict between this column and the 'MD5' column indicates a change in the stream data portion of the file between the current evaluation and the stored evaluation. |
| Errors |
Provides statements about potential structural problems with a given audio files: for instance if the RIFF size statement conflicts with the actual file size or if the audio files does not utilize padding bytes to follow odd byte length chunks. |
