avchd, hdv & dv player with metadata tools

New version 4.2

Now with
geotagging support



 

DVMP Pro is a specialised AVCHD, HDV & DV media player, a set of professional tools, and a DV Capture module.

Plays files captured from an AVCHD, HDV or DV camcorder and displays the date and time stamp that was stored in the hidden metadata area of the file when the recording was originally shot. It also displays the timecode, user bits, and exposure settings such as iris/aperture, shutter speed, gain, image stabilizer and white balance - all displayed with frame accuracy as you play or frame-step through your AVCHD, HDV or DV file.

The tools allow you to burn-in the recording date and time (also known as datacode/datecode) into the visible area of each frame. You can also choose to burn-in timecode, user-bits, iris, shutter speed, etc. Other tools include a powerful file splitter which splits your DV AVI file into scenes using a range of triggers, and a metadata editor which can modify timecode, DV date stamp and other metadata.

System Requirements

Playing and processing high definition AVCHD files requires a lot more more processing power than HDV or DV files. Therefore there are 3 levels of system requirement.

For AVCHD playback:

  • 3GHz, Quad Core (or possibly Core 2 Duo).
  • 4GB RAM
  • Windows XP, Vista or 7
  • DirectX 9

A lower spec can be used for processing AVCHD files - the operation will just take longer to complete.

A suitable video and audio decoder (codec) must already be installed on your PC. See Requirements for Playing AVCHD files for more info.

For HDV playback and processing:

  • Core 2 Duo, 2GHz, or better.
  • 2GB RAM
  • Windows XP, Vista or 7
  • DirectX 9

A suitable MPEG-2 video decoder (codec) must already be installed on your PC. See  Requirements for Playing HDV files  for more info.

For DV playback and processing:

  • Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon 1.2GHz, or better.
  • 256MB RAM
  • Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7
  • DirectX 9

Try the DEMO version to check if your PC has the necessary decoders, and to check its performance with your own video files before buying.

Download our 14 day demo version - this has almost all of the functionality of the full version, but all output files are watermarked.

DVMP Pro does not install any codecs or DLLs on your system and does not change any of your system settings - it couldn't be simpler or safer!
