Editor's review
There are a number of video formats in existence today and often a user may find his video collection to contain duplicate or repeated files with entirely different names, sizes and formats. There are many software available today which search duplicate files by comparing the size, format and name, but the main problem arises when some or all these three parameters are entirely different for each duplicate video files. In such a case, you require software with the ability to carry out a content based search of your video database. Visual Search Pony v.9.12 provides a solution to this problem quite effectively.
Visual Search Pony v.9.12 is a specialized tool for carrying out a content based search of similar video files in a system, rather than the traditional methods of searching on the basis of name, size or format. This eventually enables the program to produce an accurate search result of its own. It has a very simple layout and is an easy-to-use utility even for the most “technologically challenged” users. All you need to do to ensure the desired result is select a file, choose a target folder for searching duplicates, and then start the scan process. The program quickly detects any potential duplicate files, compares with the original and arranges similar items into groups. When the search process is finished, the found items are displayed as a thumbnail list. Each thumbnail comes with a short description such as information on where the file is located on the local drive, its format, resolution as well as the date of last modification.
Overall, this application provides a simple, quick and unique solution for finding similar and duplicate video files. The content based search technology that it can boast of makes it a perfect and accurate video search tool. Hence, it receives a rating of four on the scale of five.
