Video Duplicate Finder is a cross-platform software to find duplicated video (and image) files on hard disk based on similiarity. That means unlike other duplicate finders this one does also finds duplicates which have a different resolution, frame rate and even watermarked.
- Cross-platform
- Fast scanning speed
- Ultra fast rescan
- Optional calling ffmpeg functions natively for even more speed
- Finds duplicate videos / images based on similarity
- Windows, Linux and MacOS GUI
Daily build v3 (You need to download FFmpeg and FFprobe yourself, see below! Please note the attachments of this release are automatically created and replaced on every new commit.)
Get latest package from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html I recommend the full (GPL) shared version. If you want to use native ffmpeg binding for much faster speed you must download the 4.4.1 stable shared version.
Extract ffmpeg and ffprobe into the same directory of VDF.GUI.dll. Or into a sub folder called bin. Or make sure it can be found in PATH system environment variable
Installing ffmpeg:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Open terminal in VDF folder and execute ./VDF.GUI
You may need to set execute permission first sudo chmod 777 VDF.GUI
After installing FFmpeg & Ffprobe (see above), double click on ffmpeg. You will get an error that ffmpeg is unsigned. Now open macOS settings -> Security -> General and choose 'Always open'. Do the same for ffprobe. Now open Terminal in VDF folder and give VDF.GUI executable rights sudo chmod -R 755 VDF.GUI. Now right click on VDF.GUI and choose to open with terminal. Please remember that the steps above to allow running unsigned ffmpeg and ffprobe only last 30 minutes. Alternatively find signed versions, sign them yourself or search for other workarounds to permanently run unsigned apps on your macOS.
