MultiShow

MultiShow is a multipurpose file viewer for audio, video, images and text.
It is entirely written in Java and runs on a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux.

 

With MultiShow you can examine a file at multiple levels of abstraction. The high level views show a file as audio, video, image or text. The intermediate level views show the logical structure of the file content. At the lowest level, a binary or textual representation of the file is shown.
