Is there anything I could do to make DC running faster (in audio mode)?

[Donk]

In audio mode DC needs 2 and a half minutes for 68 mp3 files with identical audio data to finish. There are other duplicate finder programs needing a third of the time (comparing audio data, not tags). Is there anything I could do to make DC running faster (in audio mode)?

Compared with my A/V hasher (something I whipped up), & for as much as I understand (or don't understand) it, I'm getting results in seconds, compared to minutes for DC.

The basic guts of it:

Code: Select all

for %%i in (%*) do (echo "%%~fi"  &  ffmpeg -v 4  -i "%%~i"  -map 0  -c copy  -f streamhash  -hash murmur3 -)  2>&1  |  tee -a  c:\out\0hashmedialist

And the important part of that:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -v 4  -i "%%~i"  -map 0  -c copy  -f streamhash  -hash murmur3 -

The "as much as I understand" part.
(ffmpeg) has different ways to compute hashes (& different algorithms too). And some are faster then others.
Now why one would want to chose one over another, I'm not particularly sure.
In my notes, I have:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0:v -c copy -f md5 -
	- This just gets the MD5 (murmur3) hash using stream copy mode. There is no decoding.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0   -c copy -f streamhash -hash md5 -
	- Show video and audio checksums separately
	- Using the streamhash muxer:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0   -f framehash -
	- Per frame
	- Using the framehash muxer:

(Above relates to both audio & video, & using ffmpeg.)

And I get outputs like:

Code: Select all

[Donk]

Thank you very much

That somehow looks quite complicated. What do I have to do now?

[MegMac]

I use Windows Task Manager and set DCP priority to High. That speeds things up when I'm working with photos and videos.

[Dupp]

Yes, that can of course be a good thing, but then my computer would probably run unusably slowly for many hours with this setting. In any case, other certain programs might then hardly be useful.
