About Canopus DV file converter and the Canopus codec

onesoul · 19th February 2003, 03:20

Well, as dvd2svcd user I use the canopus codec and the dv file converter to get a dv avi type 2. But my doubt is, when you open with WMP, a dv file that has been converted, which codec will be used to open it? And when it will be used then? Internally by dvd2svcd?

I change the fourcc from cdvc to dvsd because gspot would say that the codec isn't installed despite the canopus codec is installed. I could open at wmp though but I would see the interlaced lines and after changing the fourcc I don't, dunno why.

@moderator
Could you move this to dvd2svcd basic topics, maybe it is more approprate there. Sorry.

Thank you jorel for responding but I'd really like to know how the canopus codec is used... Still haven't figured it out.

I think the easiest way for you to get the answers you are looking for is to use a demo version of the codec. Then when you see the logo you know it is being used for playback.

i was thinking that you had procoder instaled in your system .
if you install procoder it works but,
if you never install or unisntall procoder it don't work!
