Feature Suggestions / Save copy of video to local computer from remote location
« on: May 25, 2010, 07:44:03 pm »
This is an awesome piece of software. I was tasked with writing database management software to catalog company videos and stumbled across this. It is way better than anything that I could have done and saved me a lot of time. I do have one suggestion that would really make it perfect for my application:
I keep my video files on a remote network location and run image processing algorithm testing on my computer. The files need to on my local computer before I can run the algorithm so that it can be done real-time. I currently use the open containing folder function and copy the file to my computer. It would be very nice to automate this step and have it grab a copy from the remote server and save it to a predefined folder on my computer. The dream feature would be to search for videos of interest (say it returns 10 videos) and then run a "Copy all open records" type macro that would copy each video to my local computer one by one. That way, I could start it and go home, come in the next to find all the files copied over.
I would think this would be nice too for a user that wants to copy a video from his network server to his laptop so he could watch the movie on an airplane or whatever.
If this seems to be a unique feature that you wouldn't consider doing without a donation, let me know and maybe we could figure it out.
