Xiklone Media Validator

Xiklone Media Validator is a lightweight metadata and file header viewer that can perform document integrity checks. The application can export reports to program-specific MVR format.

The application is useful for anyone with large multimedia libraries, since it allows one to check for inconsistent headers. Besides audio files, the program can also analyze EXEs and DLLs, which makes it a notable method of checking resources for integrity errors. At the current stage, however, its best use is to sniff out inconsistent multimedia files.

Xiklone Media Validator features a very pleasant interface, composed of three frames, which are populated once a valid source document is loaded. There are no less than 14 interface styles, which can be used to customize the design.

One of the great features with regards to the GUI is that users are free to hide one or both of the analysis frames. Since metadata can be quite ample, this is a great method of keeping the display clean.

Xiklone Media Validator can load various file-types, the most notable ones being WAV, MP3, EXE and DLL. The resource does full integrity checks for the supported audio files, and a nice touch is that the resource generates a detailed log, which can be parsed in order to identify where integrity tests have failed.

For EXEs and DLLs the software will display essential file header information, such as the initial SP value, OEM identifiers, time stamps and checksum values. Regardless of the source file-type, the tool will display general information, such as the complete name, extension, format, size and encoding.

In conclusion, Xiklone Media Validator is a notable metadata and file header viewer that can be used to check for integrity errors.
