- 1. Introduction
- ****************
-
- I now that many video organizers already exist. Among these, I did not
- find one that would satisfy all features I wanted nor have the environment
- I demanded. So here's VideoMaxe, the final solution:
-
- VideoMaxe is a video database that satisfies all needs of a private
- video user (when I say all I mean all, so if you think that's false
- please write me your suggestion(s)).
-
- It has nearly NO `RESTRICTIONS' whatsoever [all data strings are dynamic,
- size of projects, mask lists, etc. are limited by your memory only, etc],
- HANDLES all CLASSIC PROBLEMS of a video database [record suggestions,
- spool information, any title compression, etc.],
- adds COMFORT [database facility, statistics, search routines, customization,
- etc.] and
- it has a COMFORTABLE OS 2.1+ ENVIRONMENT [localized, appl. icon, online
- help, etc.].
- See `Features' below for more.
-
- 1.0. Features
- ==============
-
- (only some features that just come to my mind...)
-
- Environment:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- o Full OS 2.0/2.1 support (Localization, Asl, fonts, app. icon, ...)
- o Localized into English, Deutsch, Francais up to now.
- o Comfortable screen/window layout saving
- o Font-sensitive runtime gadget calculation
- o Comfortable installer script for installing, updating, ...
- o (Guide-)Documentation in english and german.
- o Online help.
- o Customization
- o ...
-
- Concepts:
- ~~~~~~~~~
- o NO limitations whatsoever concerning amount of titles, rubrics,
- tapes (or whatever:+) except for your memory.
- o All strings dynamic since 04.30.
- o 6 different filetypes to save configs/data: project, mask lists,
- video recorder, printer preferences, layout preferences, VideoMaxe
- preferences
- o Ultimate answer to the questions:
- o Where to record a new title?
- o How to spool to title x (counter, rest time, used time...)?
- o If I have a video recorder without rest or used time display,
- how can I get exact counter position?
- o How to express different compression modes (i.e. long play)?
- o Data base facility: A freely editable mask entry list for each tape
- and title; that means that you can carry as much additionally
- information as you wish per tape or title. Provides a mask concept to
- handle that (save, load masks etc.).
- o Title length are given in hours:minutes:seconds to be able to cover
- rather short titles (e.g. music).
- o Comfortable statistics
- o Comfortable search routines (several modes, match lists, etc.)
