Fixed: Can anybody play this camera-generated .mov file in Mediaportal? (2 Viewers)

[datja]

I have never ever been able to play the .mov files that my camera produces. I have seen similar topics but so far, no one has published a solution that works for my Mediaportal. This has not been dependent on different MP versions. The files are fine and playable with VLC and MPC, for example. I have tried everything: old quicktime alternative-versions, changing codec merits, dowloading strange mov-codecs. At best, I have either had a white picture with sound, or a moving picture without sound. This is only within MP, no problems with MPC or VLC. I upload a small mov file now. If anybody can play this with MP, could you tell me what codecs are used with graphedit, and maybe how I should arrange this for myself. I don't want to bungle the playability of other files I have (eg. H264 for which I use CoreAVC). Here is the .mov file. Can you play it with MP? Please tell me how.

All the best

Björn

I see a video of someone's hand holding a fork, sitting at a stripe table in a restaurant.

FourCC 'ms' for track 2 is unsupported by QuickTime/MP4 reader.
The AVC video track is missing the 'CTTS' atom for frame timecode offsets. However, AVC/h.264 allows frames to have more than the traditional one (for P frames) or two (for B frames) references to other frames. The timecodes for such frames will be out-of-order, and the 'CTTS' atom is needed for getting the timecodes right. As it is missing the timecodes for this track might be wrong.

Thank you for your reply. Do you hear any sound? This is the kind a mov files I get from my camera. This and all my other camera-generated mov files can be played with VC and MPC (but without a graph in graphedit). And in MP I can't get moving pictures + sound. With MP, there is no special mov codec setting, so I don't know how to set up MP or system codec merits to have MP choose the correct codecs for mov playback. All other files work. Is there a way to figure out what codecs VLC uses?

I can play this file fine in MP, get video and audio, I am using the Vista codec pack, with dxva enabled for supported filetypes.



Hoborg's codecs may also work, looks like the key is MPC splitter.

Dear Ray!

I installed the Gabest MP4 splitter, but it could not recognize the audio part of the movie (had the same problem with Haali). I resorted to installing this: QuickTime DirectShow Source Filter - MediaLooks and now my family movies can be played within MP. This raises the quality of wife (she's happier) and life (I am happier too). I can take the ugly Medialooks banner!

Thank you, datja, for the feedback!

There's no need to take the ugly banner - please send us a message through the contact form, and we will provide you with a personal license file that will remove the logo.

 

[datja]

Thank you, Stardancer!

I used the contact form. (The banner isn't ugly, but... it's just there... I anticipate the personal license.)

All the best,

Björn

I have installed the medialooks plugin and can now play my mov files from digital camera after trying other options this seamed the easy way to go.

Just tryed your sample and it is working fine using SAF + Quicktime Alternative. But not sure about sound - sample too short to hear anything (1s).

 

[datja]

Hoborg, there is sound in in the movie, clearly audible. It's, as you say, about one second of "restaurant noise".
