Hi all,
I'm having a peculiar problem while playing certain .MOV files in Windows Media Player - my 1280x720 movie files (recorded in Motion JPEG format) from my digital camera.
I use FFDShow for decoding my MJPEG files. Everything is working great, but suddenly one day I open them up in WMP and FFDShow will only show the first frame - and the video is reported to be something like 4 hours long! And if you look at the seek bar, it's going by like 5 minutes a second, like it's trying to play in fast motion. If I disable FFDShow, and use the Nero QT Decoder that I installed for backup reasons like this... the video itself plays in fast motion, like the seek bar too! :scared:
I think I've narrowed down the cause. It's not FFDShow (since it works fine in other players to open the files in question). It's not any other codecs (like the Nero one) because even if I disable all codecs and WMP simply plays the audio (with no video) the file is reported as 4 hours long and the seek bar is in fast motion.
I took a look at the Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/) diagnostic application and the only thing in common is that WMP always uses the "QuickTime Movie Parser (quartz.dll)" to split the file before playing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
- Thanks a bunch!
