Program for playing 2 video files at once for purpose of comparison |
| DeXeSs posted 2009 Jun 02 10:04 |
| Does anyone have any suggestions for a good piece of software that will allow me to play 2 video files at once?
I'm experimenting with different filter settings and it's kind of difficult switching back and forth between video files. Any help would be much appreciated! |

| you can play multiple instances of the same video file by using VLC media player. |

| Oh, I'm looking to play multiple instances of different video files.
Play file 1 and file 2 at the same time, side by side. |

| You can do that with most video players. In Media Player Classic, under Options, Player, set to open a new player for each media file played. |

| They will look different in terms of luminance, because only 1 application can use the video overlay at a time
If you are comparing filter settings (eg. with avisynth), you can use Interleave() or use mulitple tabs in AvsP to flip back and forth between different combinations. |

| That's not quite true, poisondeathray,
Make an AVISynth script with 2 (or more) source files and use a PIP/tile function. You could also use a 2-file-aware player, like Stereoscopic player. (It's not necessarily meant for what you want to do, but who cares, it'll still work correctly) Or, even mux 2 files together (with the old AVIMux v.4 or Graphedit) and play them with MPC, MP6.4 etc. One controller will control BOTH windows.

| I have a couple of stock scripts that use the stack command and various cropping methods to do side by side comparison when doing restoration work. I have posted these before in the restoration forum |
