> Hi all,
>
> I am currently working on the issue #813 (Exiv2) - Video Metadata Support
> (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/813), as my GSOC project. The project also
> concern solving the bug, #164442, in DigiKam. Extending Exiv2 to
> access/interpret video metadata is the fundamental part of this project.
>
> Unfortunately, the format of the metadata information stored in video files
> varies from camera to camera, and Camera Manufactures as well. So I would
> like to collect a set of sample videos for testing to ensure that Exiv2 will
> be able to read the metadata from the widest possible set of files.
>
> If you have a camera that can record videos, you can help by recording a
> short video and attaching it to this Forum post
> (http://dev.exiv2.org/boards/3/topics/1189), as a reply, if you are a member
> of Exiv2 community as well. Or you can directly mail the video to my email
> address. My email-id is, mail.abu.to at gmail.com
>
> The video can be as short as you like (1 second is fine) and can be at low
> resolution since we're only interested in the metadata.
> Please keep the video file less than 5 megabytes in size if possible. When
> you attach the file, please enter the name of your camera in the text box
> labeled "Optional Description", or state it in the contents of the mail.
> Thanks for your help!
>
> I need as many samples as possible so if anyone possesses more than one
> camera, then please upload/send samples from all camera. It could also be
> videos recorded from your mobile/cell phones as well, since nearly all
> mobile makers now do support camera functionality.
> So please upload as many as possible. It really doesn't matter if some other
> member has already posted it or not, any sample contributed, would just be
> great.
>
> You may also send me link of the sample video, if you already have any
> uploaded video sample (original content only).
>
> One Important Note - Please attach only self made videos. Also I need
> permission to publish (publicly on a wiki page) the video, that you submit.
> So if you contribute, I would be considering that you have permitted the
> publishing of the video as well.
> I would be publishing all of video samples collected (from Exiv2 forums and
> all other resources possible) in a wiki page soon, so that the video can be
> accessible to other developers as well, who would wish to undertake similar
> project in the near future.
>
> If you have any problem attaching the file or have any query, you are always
> welcome to mail me directly.
