Mediabrowser2 is an advanced but slim Dot.Net 2.0 database, viewer and browser for raster images and directshow videos. It is based on an SQLite Database with the ability to arrange the media items in categories.
Common tools like VirtualDub, AviSynth or Lame can easily be integraded to play-back and edit all your media files within this tool. It is optimized for the processing of media data from modern digital cameras that have the capability to record photo, sound and video data.

Planned
for Future Versions:
Installation:
download the Installer (2MB) from Sourceforge. Install it and launch it from the start menu.
A new first database will be created in the personal application folder and you will be asked to select a folder with image or video files in it.
MediaBrowser2 will then scan this folder recursive and add the
media items to the database. This may take a while, depending on the amount of media items in the folder.
Requirements: Windows XP or higher with installed
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package *
(*) I use the SQLite Database Model of MediaBrowser2
since 2 years to administrate now nearly 50000
media items,
photos and videos, on a 2 years old Athlon processor with 1GB
memory. (Sebastian Czapek 2007/02/11)
MediaBrowser2 can integrate
the following extern tools:
-
AviSynth for direct rotate of videos
- Use
Lame
to convert extra sound files from your camera
- Reencode videos with
vdub.exe
from VirtualDub
-
ffdshow is the perfect package of DirectShow video filters
- Use
ExifTool by Phil Harvey to view
Meta Informations like IPTC, XMP
- dcraw
can handle RAW formats from
Canon and Nikon
- My recommendation for an extern image viewer:
XNView
- My recommendation for an extern image editor:
Paint.Net
- My recommendation for an extern video editor:
VirtualDub
- My recommendation for an extern video player:
VLC
Mediabrowser2 is based on many libraries under the GPL. Thank you to:
