I’m working on a program that analyzes and samples large video files (movies). First implementation is shaping up nicely, where there is an option to rip individual frames from a stream (in sequences) and analyze shots. The idea is to use this information to create spacial relationship maps based on the information found in a video stream.

The application is written in C++ and fully threaded. Multiple operations can be performed at the same time on the same video stream: for example sampling, analyzing and browsing. The interface is straightforward and should be of help when trying to find the right sample settings.

At some point I hope to be able to share the application and release the source code.
