Video Duplicator V2

Video Duplicator V2 is a powerful tool designed for identifying and managing duplicate video files on your system. Leveraging advanced hashing algorithms, the application extracts frame-level information to accurately detect identical or nearly identical videos, saving storage and ensuring an organized video library.

Features

• Precise Duplicate Detection: Uses frame hashing to detect identical or highly similar videos, even with slight differences.
• Customizable Similarity Threshold: Set a custom similarity threshold to filter videos by visual resemblance.
• Material Design GUI: A sleek, dark-themed GUI built with Material Design principles for a user-friendly experience.
• Detailed Video Comparison: Offers a side-by-side comparison and provides detailed information on similar videos, making it easy to decide which one to keep or delete.
• Progress and Elapsed Time Tracking: Track real-time processing status with a progress bar and elapsed time display in the console.
• Flexible Settings: Configure various parameters, such as frame extraction frequency, CRF (Constant Rate Factor) for compression, and more.
• Multi-format Compatibility: Supports a wide range of video formats for easy integration into any workflow.

Prerequisites

To run Video Duplicator V2, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+
• FFmpeg: Required for frame extraction and video processing.
• Additional dependencies, listed in requirements.txt.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Chak10/Video-Duplicator-V2.git
   cd Video-Duplicator-V2

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Make sure FFmpeg is accessible in your system’s PATH.

Usage

1. Configure Settings:

   • Edit the config.ini file to set parameters, including the distance_threshold, CRF value for video compression, and other options.

2. Run the Application:

   • Start the application with the command:

     python main.py

3. Using the GUI:

   • Use the GUI to scan your video folders, view similar videos, and delete duplicates as needed.

   • The GUI also shows the similarity percentage and allows for comparison.

     python video_similarity_gui.py

Customization

Frame Extraction

To optimize frame extraction, adjust the frame extraction frequency in config.ini. For faster processing, GPU acceleration is also supported.

CRF Setting

Set the CRF (Constant Rate Factor) value in config.ini to control video quality. Lower values mean higher quality but larger file sizes.

Similarity Threshold

Modify the distance_threshold in config.ini to control the tolerance level for similarity between videos.

Notes

• Performance Optimization: This application avoids unnecessary parallel processing to enhance stability.
• Backup Support: Includes incremental backup capabilities, allowing you to maintain backups of your video library.
• Error Handling: Provides informative console output without interruptive PHP error messages.
