cbird VS videoduplicatefinder

Try cbird (my program). In addition to playing with thresholds, there are a couple of options that might help. Also if you can share the screenshots I'd be interested in testing.

cbird has this. When you find a duplicate you can compare them side-by-side too.

Take a look at cbird. The video indexer is pretty fast IMO. There are some bonus features for batch moving files/renaming without breaking the index. You will have to start by getting all candidate files under the same parent directory (i.e. not separate disks/volumes), either by using links or moving stuff around.

Download from Github

cbird has duplicate video search (per-frame perceptual hashing)

Step 1: download the daily build, which in my case, would be App-osx-arm64.tar.gz since I have an M1. I just unzipped it to /Downloads/VDF

I've been trying for a bit now to get Video Duplicate Finder from GitHub to run without success.

Ooh this looks nice. And might replace at least 2 tools. For video comparison I currently use Video Duplicate Finder which has a few features this doesn't. Under settings it lets you check Ignore White Pixels and Ignore Black Pixels which helps lower false positives on videos with lots of white/black backgrounds or keyframes. There's an option to compare horizontally flipped videos, and a few more that are a bit more esoteric for me to understand. But it might be worth peeking at how they accomplish some of it.

Here's the link: https://github.com/0x90d/videoduplicatefinder. The directions to install seem minimal. Please explain for someone who isn't familiar with terminal.

I have used this with great success https://github.com/0x90d/videoduplicatefinder

I've used Video Duplicate Finder for this before. (Yes, it works on images, supposedly). It's pretty buggy but it does the job.

I use Video Duplicate Finder in a docker container on my media server. It shows you at a glance which version of a file has the longest duration, highest frame rate, bitrate, resolution, file size, etc.

For videos though I used something different. https://github.com/0x90d/videoduplicatefinder - its not quite as polished as some software but the results more than make up for it.
