Title: Exiv2 use
Post by: 11august on September 25, 2018, 12:06:08 PM
Hi Phil!

I have some basic questions about Exiv2 and ExifTool for our own software development.

1- Is Exiv2 used by ExifTool for video?

2- If so, are the two following functions used:

Exiv2::ImageFactory::getType (pass)
Exiv2::ImageFactory::open (pass)

And what is the Exiv2 version used?

Thank you! :)

No.  ExifTool and Exiv2 are independent projects, although most of Exiv2's makernote decoding is based on ExifTool (but it may lag a few years behind the current ExifTool development).
