1. Introduction
****************
I now that many video organizers already exist. Among these, I did not
find one that would satisfy all features I wanted nor have the environment
I demanded. So here's VideoMaxe, the final solution:
VideoMaxe is a video database that satisfies all needs of a private
video user (when I say all I mean all, so if you think that's false
please write me your suggestion(s)).
It has nearly NO `RESTRICTIONS' whatsoever [all data strings are dynamic,
size of projects, mask lists, etc. are limited by your memory only, etc],
HANDLES all CLASSIC PROBLEMS of a video database [record suggestions,
spool information, any title compression, etc.],
adds COMFORT [database facility, statistics, search routines, customization,
etc.] and
it has a COMFORTABLE OS 2.1+ ENVIRONMENT [localized, appl. icon, online
help, etc.].
See `Features' below for more.
1.0. Features
==============
(only some features that just come to my mind...)
Environment:

Concepts:
~~~~~~~~~
o NO limitations whatsoever concerning amount of titles, rubrics,
tapes (or whatever:+) except for your memory.
o All strings dynamic since 04.30.
o 6 different filetypes to save configs/data: project, mask lists,
video recorder, printer preferences, layout preferences, VideoMaxe
preferences
o Ultimate answer to the questions:
o Where to record a new title?
o How to spool to title x (counter, rest time, used time...)?
o If I have a video recorder without rest or used time display,
how can I get exact counter position?
o How to express different compression modes (i.e. long play)?
o Data base facility: A freely editable mask entry list for each tape
and title; that means that you can carry as much additionally
information as you wish per tape or title. Provides a mask concept to
handle that (save, load masks etc.).
o Title length are given in hours:minutes:seconds to be able to cover
rather short titles (e.g. music).
o Comfortable statistics
o Comfortable search routines (several modes, match lists, etc.)
o Printing
