The DME Resources Professional Community is a service provided by Larry A. Compton (d.b.a. Larry A. Compton, Spokane, WA - Federal EIN# 46-3092870 - A Veteran Owned Business registered with the WA Dept. of Veterans Affairs).
This members-only community is the evolution of my online DCCTV database launched over 20 years ago; as well as the original Forensic Multimedia Community, Media-Geek.com, which I publicly launched in January, 2008 and grew to serve over 1,500 verified members.
Together we've expedited tens of thousands of investigations throughout the world. Securely sharing information & solving problems together, all for FREE.
No ads, no invasive technologies to get you to click more, buy more or stay longer.
Member's Area
The secure members area provides a number of tools and features to facilitate secure communication and information sharing between verified members. Some of the tools and capabilities currently provided include:
FREE Lifetime Access Subscription
- Connect & Share Files with Peers Around the World! Members can connect with each other, get & give help to each other, share large files (up to 1GB/ea.) via our Community Member Forums, categorize & share files, DCCTV players, photos & videos via their member profile, and more.
- Member Profiles for featuring content, managing settings & connections. Members can add Professional Connections (a.k.a. "Friends") for growing and managing their DME peer network. (Over 2,250 verified members to-date! Approximately 90% of those members are sworn law enforcement officers.)
- Community Activity Stream - see profile updates from other verified members such as Photo & Video uploads, Community Forum posts, status updates, blog posts or comments. Like & comment on posts just like other social media platforms you're familar with.
- Privacy Controls, to control which verified members can see various fields, file uploads and other content that you share via your profile. (Most content shared via your profile IS NOT even searchable by other logged in members, by design.)
- DCCTV Player Library - A shared, categorized, and searchable library where members can post documents, images, videos, presentations, and even complete programs. Upload large files from your PC (up to 1GB in size!), link to them from another site, or import them from another server. Current Categories Include:
- DCCTV Manuals, Players & Viewers (over 200 DCCTV players & codecs!)
- Digital Evidence Playback & Processing (Other)
- Sample DCCTV Media Files (New)
- Community Forums, which allow members to share problems and solutions that can be found by all other verified members who log-in. Members can attach images, files, DCCTV players and even embed video. They can also subscribe to a topic and receive PM's or emails when there's a new post to a topic of interest. (Hundreds of helpful discussion threads on common problems & issues!)
- Private Messaging (PM) to communicate with individual members of the site from around the world privately. Members only receive email notifications of PMs when they're not currently logged in.
- Help Desk Ticketing System - Easily submit, manage and view website Technical Support tickets if you're having a problem with a feature or even just have a question about using the site.
Pro Upgrade Annual Subscription ($30/yr. USD)
(Individual membership) Developing & providing world-class, secure, cross-platform, integrated communication & file sharing services with a 99.9% up-time for 20 years, isn't as cheap as one might think. The Pro Upgrade subscription helps me cover the associated annual overhead. Thanks for considering helping me, help so many others.
Everything in the FREE Lifetime Access Category plus...
- DCCTV Database - where members can lookup and add proprietary DCCTV file extensions and codecs by extension, fourCC code, or company. Provides links to company/manufacturer websites, links to software downloads, notes, etc. (Hundreds of listings for DCCTV and other proprietary codecs & players!)
- Member Directory - Advanced boolean search capabilities for finding members by Name, Agency, City or State.
- Help Desk Support Prioritized Response - Website Technical Support Tickets submitted from Pro Ugrade subscribers are prioritized over tickets from FREE Lifetime Access members.

This shared subscription option makes you the Plan Administrator for your agency. Plan Administrators can manage their plan members, and add/remove members from their plan as necessary during their subscription period.
