Searching for C++ classes (MFC) gathering media infos
-
Hi, I'm searching for C++ classes (MFC) gathering media infos in JPG,GIF,BMP,PDF,MP3,MP4, etc... To make it clear, I don't want to display or modify the files, I'm simply interested in lightweight and fast routines to get the basic infos like width/height/colors in images or number of pages in PDFs (somewhat like the properties tab in Windows' Explorer). I don't need big and high sophisticated projects with hundreds of whistles and bells... I remember there are books about file "standards" and formats but I don't really want to reinvent the wheel and start from scratch. I'm now searching for days, but all things I found are to complex. Don't let me be misunderstood, they're all great and kudos to the authors but for the purpose I'd like to use somewhat 'over-dozed'. If I succeed I'll make a article with the results, so the routines should be free of royalties. Could someone please give me a hint or lead me to some links? greetings, ralf.
