Verifile Checker app

Parent chapter  Previous page  Next page

 

The Verifile Checker app performs Verifile error checking on a recorded file (or files).  It is installed by the Prism Sound USB Audio installer for both Mac and Windows.  It can be run either directly (via the 'Prism Sound Verifile Checker' shortcut) or by clicking on a button in the Control Panel app.  The initial version of the app supports WAV, BWF and RF64 file formats.

 

 

The file to be checked is selected either via the 'Browse' button or by dragging the file into the large logging box in the lower part of the Verifile Checker app dialogue box (Windows only).  The filename is then displayed in the upper line of the dialogue box, with its channel count, wordlength and sample rate shown beneath.  An indicator under the 'Browse' button shows whether the selected file is Verifile encoded or not.  If the selected file is Verifile encoded, it can be checked with the 'Verify' button; if not, the button is greyed out.  During checking, the progress bars track the progress of the check.   When checking is complete, the results log is shown in the logging box, and also saved as a text file in the same folder as the audio file, but with a '.log' extension.  The log either confirms that no Verifile errors were found, or else lists the errors by timestamp and channel.

 

You can run the Verifile Checker app in 'Batch' mode by selecting a number of files simultaneously.  In Mac systems, this is done by selecting multiple files in the file selection dialogue box; in Windows systems, multiple files must be dragged into the logging box.  In batch mode, the channel count, wordlength and sample rate of each selected file are listed in the logging box, plus an indication of whether the files are Verifile encoded.  If any of the selected files are Verifile encoded, they can be checked with the 'Verify' button; if not, the button is greyed.  During checking, the upper progress bar tracks the check on the current file, the lower bar tracks overall progress.  When checking is complete, the results logs for each checked file are shown in the logging box, and saved as text files in the same folders as the audio files, with '.log' extensions.  The 'Save batch log' button can be used to save a log file for the entire batch of files if required.
