Video Duplicate Finder v2.0.8

Andrew Lee on 1 Apr 2021
  • 220MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 4 Sep 2020
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Video Duplicate Finder is a cross-platform software (Windows and Linux) to find duplicated video (and image) files based on content similarity. That means unlike other duplicate finders, it is capable of identifying duplicates having a different resolution, frame rate or even watermarked. The scanning speed is incredibly fast, and the metadata is cached for an even faster rescan.

Bytessence DuplicateFinder v1.3.0

  • Suggested by Wolfghost

Bytessence DuplicateFinder (BDF) detects all the cloned files that you might have on your computer. These files, in addition to taking up valuable space, can increase antivirus scan time, slow defragmentation and searches, and make it more difficult to organize your files.

The program employs optimized detection system and file filters to reduce scanning time. Detected files can be removed in no time with the help of the automatic file selector and the predefined set of actions (copying, moving or recycling).

Hello! I am the developer behind BDF. I just released a new version of the program (1.3) which fixes some annoying bugs.

If you can reproduce the crash, please enable logging from the Settings dialog. The error handler should catch the exception and will write it in the log. You can send the log to the support e-mail and I'll try to fix the problem. Thanks and don't hesitate to contact me if you find bugs.

Might be my new favorite duplicate finding program on the site next to DoubleKiller http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=136 (and certainly much easier to use).

CloneSpy can help you free up hard drive space by detecting and removing duplicate files with exactly the same contents regardless of their name, date, time, or location. Also, CloneSpy is able to find files that are not exactly identical, but have the same file name. This can be an issue for example if you have different versions of a file and you want to find and remove the older versions. CloneSpy is able to find zero-byte files.

Note: The installer now allows you to choose between a 32 or 64-bit version of CloneSpy.

  • Remembered window sizes and positions can now be reset to their default values (see Misc page of the Options window).
Modified:
  • Hard links and shortcuts are now created before the file to be replaced is deleted (see Deletion page of the Options window).
  • Leftover files are now deleted at the end of a scan to prevent deletion conflicts (see Deletion page of the Options window).
  • Deleted leftover files are now counted in the scan progress window and listed in the log file if deleted files have to be logged (see Logging page of the Options window).
  • The title of the Main window now contains the program version.
  • Renamed the Priority page of the Options window to Misc.

A lot of people here trying to delete multiples of the same image - I just wanted to give a shout out to Dup Detector, which is a great piece of software that does exactly that.

Dup Detector doesn't just do file-size/checksum analysis, it actually analyzes the images to find similarities. E.g. one could be black & white and the other can be color, or one can be watermarked, or one could be taken 2 seconds later because someone blinked & it'll find both and display them to you and ask which one you want to delete or if you want to keep both. You can choose how strict it is in its matching algorithm - 100% mach, 95% match etc.

You can even have it set up to automatically select which one to delete based on rules - e.g. the smaller one. Then you just approve the selection by hitting the space bar, or you can just let it do its thing automatically, or you can go full-manual mode and click the image you want to delete. Super fast way to delete duplicates and easy to use. I've used it professionally to manage large image catalogs that had a lot of duplicates of different sizes.

Unfortunately, it's not portable.

The latest version I have is 3.3.02 from July 8, 2011. You can get an earlier version from rareware.

Not sure how this is stealth, it created a 'temp' folder in the root of my drive and added a startup entry.

Dup Detector v3.3.0.2

  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 7 Aug 2011
  • Suggested by Kongu Tamil

Dup Detector finds duplicate or near-duplicate images by comparing image pixel data. As large image collections can over time pull in duplicates with different file sizes and different names, this program helps track those down and save disk space.

Writes settings to: Windows registry. It was a tough call, but I finally decided to accepted it as portable because it is probably not something that you will run that regularly. And when you run the program on a different machine, a few parameters will need to be adjusted anyway.
Stealth: ? No. A yaP configuration file to make Dup Detector portable and stealth is available at http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/#examples

Disk2vhd v2.01

Checker on 20 Jan 2015
  • 7MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 21 Jan 2014
  • Suggested by guinness

Disk2vhd is a utility that can create live "snapshots" of Windows volumes, allowing you to duplicate/backup systems while running. The program creates Virtual Hard Disk files (.VHD, Microsoft's Virtual Machine disk format) from physical disks and can be used in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs).

The program uses Windows' own Volume Snapshot capability added starting with WinXP to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is saved to a different disk than ones being converted).
