Hi,

a few years ago I wrote a AVI-clip logger, it would play the clips from my video camera, I would type a description, and it would add some information from the file, run time, etc.
And it would produce a spreadsheet of all of the video clips.

I used Visual C++/MFC and the calls were mostly MCI***() functions (vfw.h).

Now I have a newer HD video camera, it outputs AVCHD (*.mts) files.

Obviously the AVI logger will not open MTS files, so my question is - what API do I use for these *.mts files.

Thanks in advance,

Bryan.

I hope that you have solved in the years passed since you posted your question.
If you have finished your program, have you shared your program as free software?

If you or any other just want to read the file description, use exiftool, a program written in perl that reads the exif data of mts (and many other) files.
You can call it analyze it's output to search the data that you need for your "clip logger".
