Thanks to John for his earlier response and suggestion that I look into MS's
Digital Image product. I'm still thinking that I can build a program that
would be more aligned with my needs, to save time in the long term... so now
I have another question.
Knowing that file names and paths may change, is there any information
(flags, tags, whatever) in the AVI file format that can help me identify
specific clips? I want to be able to locate the correct data in my database
when a clip is loaded without relying on the filename and path, or if a file
gets moved/renamed, to be able to recursively search the drive to find it
using this type of 'tag'. I don't think the file date or size would change,
so those may be options, but I'm hoping there might be some other aspect of
the AVI format that would be 'cleaner' for identifying unique files.
If anyone has any ideas of what I could/should use, I'd appreciate the info!
Thanks,
Keith
