mjpeg?

Postby OnewngdAngel88 » Mon Aug 06, 2007 5:26 pm

I'm helping a friend with a codec problem and I've done the normal thing with virtualdubmod. Now, when I send the video back to him he only hears the audio and the video doesn't show. This was the original problem when he sent the video to me. When I ran it through VirtualDubMod, and imported it into Premiere it worked fine for me, but not for him.


I think it's because I have the codecs available on my computer and he doesn't. Can someone help me? He's using Sony Vegas.

Curse this no edit button thing.


I forgot to include the original codec was mjpeg and I changed it to lagarith, then i did it again and used uncompressed.

does your friend have DirectShow or the CCCP codec's available to him ??
( actually, I'd like to find this MotionJPG codec myself! )

.. hmm .. have you given your friend the same Codec Pack that you are using ??

.. it is codec related -- right ?

Transcoding (taking a video from one encoding to anther) only works if you have both codecs installed. Have your friend install what he needs - don't know? Try gspot (i don't have a link handy and googling it will probably get you something completely different) it's a program that analyzes a file's encoding.

Thanks. it's working now.


Another question though, does anyone know of any programs that can convert .mp4 footage?

VirtualDubMod + Avisynth: DirectShowSource() works fine for me.

Is there any other way besides AVI synth? I've not had good luck with using that.

Probably, but there'll mostlikely be quailty loss, and you really do need to use something like avisynth in your process to clean, filter, resize, etc. anyways, so you might as well get used to it.

I second the use of AviSynth.
So far it has worked perfect for me with absolutely no problems...

You can try using SUPER if you really don't want to resort to AviSynth. It supports mp4 without need to install any codecs
