Dear List: I have a client who writes: I have a prospect who is looking for software so they can setup an digital archiving system for digital video files. It's thus Digital Audio+Video. The original material is recorded on Sony XDCAM format. This digital process also generates so-called 'proxi-files', which are sort of a low-res duplicate of the original material. Inside those Proxi-files, there is metadata (time of recording, scenes, etc..). Now my prospect is looking for software which will allow them to perform searches, and pre-visualize the results on a PC. Think they also want to be able, once the search complete, to record the material on something (tbd). Thus the original files needs to reside on a server, as the Proxy-files. I was told there are some SDK's that would exist at companies like opencubetech.com or mogsolutions. It would involve getting the metadata out of the so-called MXF files. Is this something you would be familiar with, or could do, or could look out if over there in the US, you would know or find a company who would have or be able to develop such software? Does anybody know anything about this or have any experience? I suppose I'd be looking for some way to extract the metadata from the files and store it in an mdb. Maybe Access isn't the best platform? TIA Rocky Smolin Beach Access Software 858-259-4334 www.e-z-mrp.com <http://www.e-z-mrp.com/> www.bchacc.com <http://www.bchacc.com/>
