I have over a TB of home movies with horrible file names. Finding what you want is impossible. I would like to rename all files to the time they were originally recorded (not the file time they were placed on my computer). Some applications (like Ulead Video Studio) can access this information, which I believe is embedded in the CODEC. ...
I need a java api, that cannot use JMF, to play video interpreted by the SO codecs but i want to retrieve the each frames in java code. Somebody know some? ...
I have some old .AVI files made by my kids with a Logitech webcam that I can not view. They seem to be encoded using IV50. Does anyone know of a tool to convert these files to something more widely supported, like Quciktime? (movavi seems to do it but I only have a few .AVI files to convert and I'd rather not have to buy something.) ...
I'm looking to add support for reading and writing video files in my application. If you had to choose exactly one file format and codec combination that would satisfy the majority of users, which would you choose: 1) MPEG-4/H.264 (.mp4) 2) AVI/DiVX (.avi) 3) Ogg/Theora (.ogg) 4) Windows Media Video (.wmv) I'm leaning towards MPEG-4/H...
I was of the idea that flash (more specifically Adobe's flash player browser plugin) probably uses some installed MP3 codecs (on the client machine) using OS APIs. I heard someone say that Flash supports MP3 natively. is that true? I guess flash has it's own video and audio format. (FLV and something similar for audio). This question ...
I need to encode a sequence of frames with a lossless video codec and play them in a Java app. I don't care about the file size. The output frames should match the input frames exactly. Lossy codecs don't do this even at high bit rates. None of these well-known lossless video codecs appear to be supported in JMF or FMJ: HuffYUV CorePN...
The main players seem to be x264, and xvid, and both are GPL. This means we can't integrate decoding capabilities into a playback application without licensing the whole thing as GPL, so we can't use either. The preferred target platform is Linux. Any non-viral open license is fine, we're more than happy to provide the source of any ch...
I am developing a voice application, I have 2 options speex and nellymoser .Why should I use speex instead of nellymoser in flex application. ...
I often have to write up specs for video conversion for some of the video production houses that my company's clients work with. Unfortunately, I am a programmer first and "video-guy" on the side, so I don't know too much about all the different codecs. I am looking for a good lossless codec that is both cross-platform (Win and Mac) and...
Is it possible to implement a custom codec decoder and play a media file using JSR135? Actually I am interested in playing back a custom media file in J2ME. I think JSR135 is a good starting point but I am open to other suggestions. Thanks. Update I have not tried but I believe, if I open the file using JSR75 I will get an InputStream. ...
I was wondering if there are any video codecs out there that are suited for extremely low bitrates, especially for webcam input? Throwing around some numbers: let's say a 160x120 stream that will result around 32kbps or so. Quality will be poor, probably. However, the video should be "understandable", and the frame rate should be suffi...
We have a situation where our phone system will deliver voice-mail as email attachments to the phone. The problem is the format (while wav) uses a proprietary codec that most mobile device users cannot playback. I need for our Exchange server (Exchange 2003) to parse the incoming file, convert it to a usable format and then deliver the a...
Hello everyone, I am programming on Windows Media Encoder 9 to record screen, and we can select two video codecs, (1) Windows Media Video 9 codec and (2) Windows Media Video 9 Screen codec. My questions, I am a little concerned about using (2), since I think for most client computer, they intalled with Windows Media Video 9 codec, bu...
I work on the task of porting a video codec written to perform on a PC, onto a mobile platform (in my case OMAP3430 MDK). Though my question is not related to a specific platform or language. I ask for specific clues/ideas to bear in mind when porting a codec onto a Mobile Platform. What are the main differences of the PC and mobile en...
So my new job started. The company provided me with a computer with a Windows Server 2008 operating system and they told me I should watch some Live Meeting recorded instructions and demonstrations about how the system works that I will be working on. Live Meeting, in case you don’t know, has a very cool feature where you can record a ...
Considering the amount of pressure each of the algorithms for decoding put on the processor, how is streaming video (real time) from web cam chat servers decoded in the mobile devices like cell phones? Is it displayed using a flv player (more or less like uploading a video on to youtube and simultaneously viewing it elsewhere. With this...
Is there any ways to create my own audio file format? I'm planning to create simple player with its codec. What should I learn before now? thanks. ...
I want to compress an image using JPEG encoder and instead of writing it to a file I want to pass the compressed data to another application. My problem is that I can compress the data but don't know how to get that compressed image data. I am using this code : out = new FileOutputStream ( filename ); JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCo...
Hi, I have a video file I don't know what format it is. Is there a software can analyze what kind of video container / compression format it uses? I tried Gspot, but it doesn't work (Show "Unknown format") I am sure the file is using some kind of public standard codec because I can use a media converter convert it to avi or mpg4 file...
Hi, I'm converting working Borland C++ Builder code to C# - interesting, but not always easy... void listCodecs(int Width, int Height) { int iSelected = 0; ICINFO ci; BITMAPINFOHEADER bih; AnsiString asDesc; bih.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER); bih.biWidth =...
