Things like how to use SQLite, how to work with external programs ( FFProbe) and how to create my own DBGrid from scratch. This program however does not compare the two, it just lists the specifications of each video file.Īnother reason for me to create this program was to do some tests and experiments with Lazarus Pascal. This way you can compare the different versions you have without going into a media player and identify the differences between the two files you’re looking at. The only purpose this program has is to quickly analyze your video file or files and determine things like resolution, if it’s widescreen or not, audio tracks, embedded subtitles, etc. It’s also not a program that identifies your movies and/or find additional clipart or information from places like the IMBD or TheMovieDB (MacOS X users: I highly recommend ViMediaManager). MovieScanner was not designed with cataloging you movies in mind – there are plenty of great programs out there that will do the trick. This version is outdated and has been replaced with its successor. Windows may unsuccessfully attempt to use the Microsoft Help program in order to open the file instead open the file directly with a text editor.Warning: This version is outdated – Get MovieScanner2 instead NFO Viewer is a simple viewer for NFO files, which are 'ASCII' art in the CP437 codepage. ^ 'NFO Viewer Plugin for Directory Opus'.And this is more than just posturing a group's reputation is paramount. NFO files do more than brag or supply installation instructions they testify that the ware is a bona fide release, guaranteed to work. NFO files were a way for Scene crews to brag about their scores, shout out important associates, and advertise to potential recruits. 'The Man Who Broke the Music Business - The dawn of online piracy'. 'Tracking the Crackers-A Look at Software Piracy'. Cork: Collaborative European Research Conference 2012. Preventing Digital Subcultures from becoming Victims of the Technological Change (PDF). Evidence of the very first NFO files by The Humble Guys. 'Online Software Piracy of the Last Millennium' (pdf). ^ a b 'Defacto2 - Scene Documents, text and NFO files'.If the NFO is for software, you will probably find product installation notes such as CDKEYS or serial numbers, in this text file.' 'NFOs are text files that contain descriptions about the media. Remove mimetype installation files and use the new 'text/x-nfo' mimetype added with 's shared-mime-info 0.30 NFO files that are meant for System Information contain all of the information that System Information displays saved in an XML format. System Information provides a general overview of a computer's system specifications as well as detailed information on the system's hardware components and information about the Windows environment. On Microsoft Windows, the NFO filename extension is associated with a Microsoft software tool called System Information (msinfo32.exe). The designers of these NFO files, who worked closely or within the warez groups, frequently incorporated extended ASCII characters from the character set code page 437 in the file. The most important information is which group, which cracker and which member actually tested and packaged. A typical warez NFO file was elaborate and highly decorated, and usually included a large ASCII art logo along with software release and extended warez group information. Once a software was 'packaged' with an NFO and then released, it was then officially owned by that group and no other group could ethically re-release that particular package.
The file was a stamp of authenticity, explicitly explaining what group released the software and described what modifications (or cracks) were applied if any. NFO files were ubiquitous, and sometimes required, during the era of the BBS. They are commonly associated with warez groups who include them to declare credit of said release. The files have been explained as essentially being the press releases of the warez scene.
