MediaInfo is a free, cross-platform and open-source program that displays technical information about media files, as well as tag information for many audio and video files. We are presently upgrading tagging functionality and also implementing a ‘Groups’ facility where users can establish and moderate their own groups.Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Basque, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Galician, Georgian, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian.

We have just developed a basic geospatial multimedia demonstrator platform (University spinout) Ubipix – – it allows the user to capture geocoded video as well as image collections from Android and iPhone, tag these and upload these location tagged streams directly up onto ….use can edit tags etc….its still pretty basic. The short term solution is to synchronise and store this data in an associated file. Devising a universal standard that would allow additional intelligence such as location, orientation, tag descriptors to be captured, stored, discovered, edited within the video file would be an elegant solution but the likelihood is that this is not going to happen anytime soon.

Geospatial tagging should also be supported, enabling users tag frame inside full motion video streams. Also it’s one thing to have location but many SmartPhones now support orientation so, possible to record camera orientation (to some degree of accuracy at least)….sometimes its useful to know where the imaging sensor is pointing. As pointed out in posts above, it’s due to various video encoding formats and supported standards when moving media from one platform environment to another. Just a general comment – storing persistent geographic information about device location/orientation and indeed geographic descriptors in video files is by no means trivial. With it you can read even iPhone video geotags: While for video files (iPhone) exif cannot help you, this is possible through Exiftool.

You can download the exif command line program and try to reed data with it:ĭate and Time (origi | 2011:01: 24 12: 15:01ĭate and Time (digit | 2011:01: 24 12: 15:01 For images, and here we talk only for JPEGs, this is the EXIF information. Once you move this file from your mobile device to a web platform you’ll see where the file has been created. The general reason to store this data into the file is to move it along with the file. And of course if the above sites can’t read it!
you’ll lose any geo information if it’s not into the file tags. But once you try to download it – whether on Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, etc. So now we’ve at least three different formats for each of those three vendors.įor now I can only say that iPhone can keep the geotag into his video files.īut let me return to the question – why we need this geo tags? Until the video file is on the mobile device – there’s no problem. In fact Symbian cannot store any geo information about video files! Actually quicktime’s MOV can store them, while Symbian’s 3GP cannot. Here comes the problem with video format, because you cannot be sure that every format supports tags that can keep geo coordinates. Thus actually the video files doesn’t know the geo coordinates. This is fantastic, but actually the real information about where the video has been taken is not into the video file, but it’s in an additional log file that keeps it. Because after using you gallery you can see where those videos are shot. You may know that even Android doesn’t “geotag” videos this is not quite true. Perhaps one of the main reasons why not support geotagging especially on video files can be the usage of those geo tags. This is in breve the state of mobile device geotagging! Why Use GPS Data?
#Mediainfo gps software#
Symbian geotags only images – and on some devices this is possible only after installing a software.iPhone OS geotags both video and image files.So generally the things are quite simple: IPhone OS comes with geotagging both on video and image files, while the latest Android and Symbian (the Nokia main OS for smartphones) can geo tag only images.Įven more – until recently Symbian didn’t support any geotagging before the installation of an additional software – such as Location Tagger. But as expected different vendors come with different support and formats. In fact most of them come bundled with navigation software that uses GPS and therefore all the pictures and (maybe) videos can be geo tagged. Most of the mobile devices today support GPS geo tagging.
