File I/O And Registry :: AVI Header - Program To Download And Play AVI Files The Files Are Large In Size And Long Time Wise
Dec 11, 2011
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

I am using zipforge.net to archive files in a small backup program I am creating. Everything works fine however if I try to archive a large number of files the process of zipping them gets slower the further along in the job it gets.
Example: I have a directory that contains a little over 100,000 files in it. Each file is only about 200k of text. When I use the zipforge zip class it starts zip'ing very quickly but as it gets about 40% of the way through the directory it starts to slow down... at about 60% its working at a snails pace.
Memory usage for my solution also goes up proportionate to the archive file size as it grows. Currently it takes around 26hours to backup this directory which only contains 4 gigs worth of information.
If I use a program like winzip I can zip the folder in less than an hour. I am thinking there has to be a way to write to the end of the zip file without having to open it every time or without keeping it open. My backup software scans the specified folder and writes each file path and name into a text file. Then it reads the text file line by line and passes the path + file info to the zipforge addfile().

I wrote a cleanup program to go through some directories and delete files based on if the creation date is older than say 6 months. It works fine with some of the directories I have that contain around a few thousand small files. However, there is one directory (that contains small backup files from another program) that is loaded with over 300,000 files and it locks up on me as soon as I read in the first file in that directory.I am convinced it is the directory has too many files in it to open it. The server that the directory is on is slow. It takes a half hour to open the directory while on the server itself. I know it will take forever to delete the amount of files I want to delete, but I don't understand why it gets stuck and hangs there with no error message.Here is where I get stuck. Listbox1 is the directory I'm attempting to access

I'm using "My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(...)" to copy large directories (30-50gb) from one mapped share folder to another. Using "FileInfo.length" to add up all file and subfolder sizes, determines the 'origin directory' size just fine. However, if I use the same method for determining the size of the 'destination directory', mid copy, it returns the full file size, despite the copy not yet being complete.I'm at a loss as to why, as this method works fine in testing, going from a local PC t

I have created an vb.net windows application. In the application i have 2 xml files (e.g., Pre.xml & Post.xml) & the 2 files are same structure.
My requirement is compare the pre & post xml files and get the differences between xml files. Like what are all the newly added nodes, removed nodes and modified nodes as well.
I tried with XmlDiffPatch.Dll, it is working for small size xml files, but in my case xml file size should be upto 100+ mb.

I am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!

Looking for an idea of where the best place to keep files for a program. I use them frequently and they interact with the program directly. I want to place them in a place where they won't be easy to find if someone is just cruising thru the directories. Any ideas?

I'm writing a program to search files.The result is saved in a text file.Everything it's working fine, but when I say to look for files/folders in C:* the process takes long time and in task manager it's displayed as "Not Responding", this is not true because I see that CPU and RAM are working with this process.I've disabled in DEBUG OPTIONS the line "ContextSwitchDeadlock" just to prevent the error message "this operation require long time ... bla bla bla".Is there any way to display a progress bar or something like that that shows the program is running and it isn't "hang"?Here's my code (in red the line where the program hangs):
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim cartella, scelta, cosa As String
[code]....
I think that it's like when you type in the command prompt "tree" it doesn't hang... I know... it's not the same thing but...I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express?

Is there any way to download multiple files at the same time from a remote server? How I am doing it currently is I get a list of files from the target folder on the server then I loop through that list & download each file 1 at a time. For 100 small files it takes about 45 seconds. I'm guessing that the bulk of the time it takes is logging in to the server for each file to download, so 100 files means it has to login, download & logoff 100 times. Is it possible to login just once, download the 100 files then logout?

I am trying to retrieve file details from files in the Program Files folder. I receive an error while trying to retrieve file details.
Dim sFileName As String = ("%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe")
Dim Info As FileVersionInfo
Info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(sFileName)
Msgbox(Info.ProductName.ToString())
I receive file not found error at 3rd line. But if I change the path from "%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe" to "c:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe" it works fine.
What should I do if I want to retrieve file details from the path which includes a "%" character?

[Code] each file is about 30 kilobytes in size, and they contain raw hardware statistical information in a comma-deliminted format. I want to do the following with these files as my end-result.
NEWFILE.CVS contains the contents in this format:
metric_group_001 metric_group_002 metric_group_003 metric_group_004 etc.
I don't want APPEND, I want to concatenate the contents of these files into one large master file. I am able to do this MANUALLY, but I need to have a DYNAMIC method of doing this because of the number of files will change depending on the test we are doing with the hardware. This is the code I am using to do this process manually and it does work, but I need a DYNAMIC method in place. [Code]

I would like to upload files using the ASP FileUpload control. However, if I try and increase the limit to about 10000 kB, it doesn't work and accepts files only upto 4 MB in size and I get an error saying that the connection to the server was reset. I referred: [URL]..but when I modified the web.config.comments file, nothing happened. Where am I going wrong?
Also, I wanted to know how this would work when I deploy it on the web server. I'm asking because in the code behind, I'm still giving a hard coded value for the path where the file is to be uploaded. How does this work?

I am trying to develop an app that will export a large amount of zip files all of which have the same single file in them - simply named 'dw' (with no extension). They will all be in the same directory. I want the file 'dw' to be renamed to the zip file name + .tif. (I will actually eventually need for this to use the magic number to determine if the file is a .tif or a .rtf.) I have been able to get it to cycle through, if the file is NOT renamed. I seem to run into issues when I want the file renamed. It just creates the first .tif file and thats it. I think its actually just cycling through but everything is getting that same name. For the record i am not a programmer by trade, just trying to help with something at work - thus I know the code I have peiced together probably isn't 'by the book'

I am new to Visual Basic. I have Visual Basic 2010 Express. I am planning to make a program that can download files from a website to put on an SD Card to Soft Mod, or hack it. I want it so that the user clicks on a radio button based on what System Menu their Wii is running on. There is currently, System Menu 4.0 or less, System Menu 4.2, and System Menu 4.3.
They also have to choose a region from a List Box. The current options are:
Region U (Americas)
Region K (Korean)
Region J (Japanesse)
Region E (European)
I also want it so that the user can choose where to download the installation files for the Wii soft Mod.
I want to have a button that when the user clicks on it, a pop up asks them where they want to download the files to appear, once they choose a location, i want it to download a file based on what they chose and i also want it so that it tells them what to do with the files and where to put them.

I should mention that I'm mainly concerned with Random files.Which is the best method?
1.) Open file, manipulate data and immediatly close the file. (Which means doing this alot everytime data needs to be read, edited, deleted, or saved)
(2.) Open the file when the app starts and let it open for data manipulation until it's time to close the app at which time the file would be closed.
I was always taught option 1. The main reason at the time was to cut down on the chance for data corruption in the file or an outright loss of the file due to outside circumstances like power failure.
