Scanning ISO-Files

[kirk02]

Hi at all,

I reinstalled the operating system of my PC (WinXP SP3). But now PVD (ver. 0.9.9.21) don't recognize the correct media information of ISO files anymore (duration, video and audio stream details won't be recognized).
Just the file size is shown.

Do I have to install any additional librarys or additional software (except PVD of course) or is there any option to set for a media scan result as the DVD?

To visualize the description I attached the snapshots of a scanned ISO (test.jpg) and the same data scanned as DVD (test2.jpg).

Hi kirk02,

Has it ever?
I believe this is the default behaviour. ie PVD cannot read inside iso containers. (Maybe this can be a future enhancement).
It will read media information from extracted DVD's as per test2.jpg. ie if vob/ifo's exist (outside of iso) in your media directory.

Hi Cad,

Yes it has.
As far as could find out the ISO container scanning is possible since PVD version 0.9.7.
Meanwhile I have approx. 280 files in ISO format stored on my media server. Approx. 250 of these files respectively the data sets in PVD contain video and audio stream details. And I didn't insert this details manually.

Now I'm looking for the reason, why it don't works anymore as in the past.

ok - hope your right and it is an (easily fixed) oversight by Nostra.
I've only been started storing files as iso recently so happy to stand corrected

I don't see ISO (Image file) support in the supported list for my version of FFMPEG.  That would explain why ISOs crash the screenshot maker on my system.

Note, the names of encoders and decoders do not always match, so there are
several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries
even though both encoding and decoding are supported. For example, the h263
decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats it is even
worse.

Try getting a newer version of mediainfo.dll. Maybe you have the old one installed.

Seems mediainfo.dll no longer supports does not iso, img etc containers:

Found this:
Note: Disc images are not supported using MediaInfo.dll so meta data will not be scanned for file types such as iso, img, bin, etc. using the version that's included in the Extras packages. v0.7.11 of the dll does scan disc images for meta data, but it is more than likely incorrect (a "false-positive", as described by the developer of the MediaInfo library). If you would like to use it anyway, download one of the following and extract MediaInfo.dll from the archive into the Bin folder of your Ember installation (overwriting the current dll):

Appears earlier versions (0.7.11) may support this.
Still investigating....

EDIT
Have checked mediainfo site - ISO is not supported it is on his TODO list though  
More info on mediainfo site:

If you really need to have media info, best way would be to extract iso's and store them in Foldername/videos_ts folders.
Scanner will pick them up and populate video info.

Approx. 250 of these files respectively the data sets in PVD contain video and audio stream details. And I didn't insert this details manually.

Maybe you had them as video_ts folders and later converted them to .ISO?

I have run a quick test and extracted movie into .iso directory and rescanned:
PVD picks up the media info from video_ts files and also updates the path:
U:\movie\Nine Miles Down (2009)\Nine_Miles_Down.iso|U:\movie\Nine Miles Down

I guess if .ISO is not there then path will only contain one entry:

I will investigate with the hints and keep you informed about my results...

Hi,

Here my results regarding the media scan inside an ISO container:

1) The last mediainfo version with ISO container support is version 0.7.11 (as CAD described already)
2) PVD (current version 0.9.21) doesn't support the media scan inside ISO container
   - tested with the in the package installed mediainfo.dll (ver. 0.7.25) see point 1)
   - also tested with earlier mediainfo.dll than 0.711
3) older versions of PVD (I tested with 0.9.8.20 and 0.9.71) scan and report the audio/video details inside the ISO container

So in the moment the once possibility to include the audio/video details of an ISO container in the database is:
- mount the iso file as virtual drive
- scan the VIDEO_TS folder
- manual remove the *.vob entries from the file path
