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.

Publisher's description

Visual Search Pony is a visual search application designed to help you find exact duplicates and near duplicates of video files automatically. Unlike other duplicate file finders, Visual Search Pony relies on content-based search technology, rather than mechanical comparison of file name, size, tags, resolution and format. This specialty enables the program to produce amazingly accurate results automatically.
If you are like most anyone, you have lots of video clips on the hard disk. As you use the computer, you rename these files, convert to another format, save copies to other folders and perform many more manipulations, producing many instances of originals that eat up disk space and create confusion. The sorting task can be very complex, so many users start looking for a tool to automate the process. With Visual Search Pony in place, you can find duplicates and near duplicates instantly and remove them with a click.
Visual Search Pony offers you to find duplicates in video clips. To begin, you need to select what you're looking for, choose a target folder with media files and start a scan. The program scans the selected folder for duplicate and similar files, compares files against each other and arranges similar items into groups. When the search is finished, found items are displayed as a thumbnail list. Each thumbnail comes with a short description such as group, path to a file on disk, resolution and date of last modification.
Visual Search Pony has a unique ability to determine an original file and copies in a group of similar items by comparing modification dates of files. The program leaves original files unchecked and puts a tick into a checkbox next to each file which is believed to be a duplicate, or near duplicate. This automatic sorting is very convenient because you can remove duplicates instantly without the need review them manually.
