You could open such a database when you encounter a video or jpg in the stream.
But to keep it quick, you'd need to initialize the database in the
analyzer constructor. The analyzer is kept across files, so that's
possible. You'd want to do a check for the depth of the file, in other
words, how deeply the file is embedded. If it embedded, the database
probably wont have any info on it.
