Aurigma Media Processor

Aurigma Media Processor is a component which can load files of various media formats and process them in various ways.

For images and video files, it can do the following: create thumbnails, rotate, crop, draw text and more, then save the result as JPEG or BMP.

Media Processor can grab the necessary frame of a video file, retrieve information about the video and audio files (such as artist name, title, duration, bitrate and more).

It uses a smart algorithm which determines if a selected frame is empty (for example the first few frames of movies/clips are black) and always retrieves the frame which contains a meaningful image!

You can easily enhance its capabilities by installing the QuickTime library (available at Apple site) which allows you to generate thumbnails from QuickTime (MOV) movies, Macromedia Flash (SWF) movies and Adobe Photoshop files (PSD) (and many more).
