1. .asf files and OS/2 - eCS? |
|
|
I used a digigtal video camera (Classic DV400 - almost identical to a Mustek DV4000). It uses MMC cards. It is seen as an external storage connected via USB (I used a WinPC to download the videos but will be trying to download them via my eCS-PC). The problem is that WarpVision sees the .asf files and plays the sounds okay but the video part is all 'squishy'/mumbled. It froze WarpVision so I could not shut it down (I had to shut down and reboot the eCS 1.1 PC). Is there a way to convert .asf so it can be seen/played properly by WarpVision? Is there an OS/2 or eCS program that can convert it to mpeg or view/play it?

last updated at 29 Sep, 2005 10:13 (1 times) Hi BWG,as far as I've understood from the docs, FFMPEG (open source project) should be able to do the conversion. I can't however tell for the codec support on OS/2|eCS, so you might need to give it a try. Paul Smedley cares about the port of ffmpeg from linux and his website holds precompiled binaries for various ports - also for FFMPEG: http://smedley.info/os2ports.html (binaries download links are at top of page) ...but, ehh... are you sure that the .asf file itself is okay? (e.g. does it play okay in "other" operating systems...<g>) Greetings Thomas |

Hi Tom, Umm I agree with warpcafe  ffmpeg may help as it's built with a newer libavcodec than the current warpvision binary... Cheers, Paul. (ffmpeg porter) |

Simplest usage is: ffmpeg -i filenameof.asf output.mpg This will give you a crappy quality mpg - but at least confirm the asf is OK - then you can mess around wiht other settings to give a better mpg. Cheers, Paul. |

Smedles, since you're here I'll ask you something more: I have a video file I downloaded. On the download page they said it was DivX. WarpVision plays it correctly, but my HW DivX player can't play it. So I tried to use your latest build of FFMPEG to convert it to something else, but FFMPEG couldn't recognize it. Would you like to have a look at the file, or should I contact the FFMPEG developers? It's 690Mb in size, but maybe just a fraction would be enough.Thankyou! Bye Cris |

Hi Cris, What's the output of ffmpeg -i filename.avi ?Best bet is to join the ffmpeg-user mailing list - or access the newsgroup via gmane. Might be best if I update cvs though and provide you with a current build - they get shitty if the code is more than a few days old  Try it out with http://smedley.info/ffmpeg-049pre-20051002-os2.zip |

last updated at 04 Oct, 2005 23:21 (1 times) Hi Paul, some more data for you  Here is the output of ffmpeg -i: ffmpeg version CVS, build 3276800, Copyright © 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-a52 --enable-dts --enab le-xvid built on Oct 2 2005 02:41:56, gcc: 3.3.5 (Innotek Build 2005-07-18 03:46) Input #0, psxstr, from '[DivX - ITA] yyyy yyyyyy - yyyyyyyyyyyy.avi': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Audio: adpcm_xa, 18900 Hz, stereo Must supply at least one output file (sorry for the word wrapping) so it seems the video stream is not recognized, if I understand the output correctly Loading in WarpVision (which, BTW, plays it perfectly) reports: Time: 01:30:07 Resolution: 352x288 Video Codec: ffmpeg MPEG-1 Audio Codec: MPEG Layer-2 Frequency: <nothing> Audio bitrate: <nothing> FPS: 25.00 So it seems it has been encoded with ffmpeg!! What should I do? Is it a bug in the port or in ffmpeg? Thankyou! Bye Cris |
