hi. does anyone know of any linux tools, preferably command line, that will identify movies that have been encoded using qpel and/or gmc ? in a similar way that gspot does on windows. thanks.

thanks for the quick reply. i already use this excellent tool for identifying and unpacking packed bitstream movies, i've not seen it identify any of my files as using qpel and/or gmc. i know that mpeg4 modifier does this but i don't believe this will run under mono, if it does could you please advise how i compile it. thanks.

The '-i' switch makes UnpackCL display detailed information about the video, the same information that MPEG4 Modifier displays in the "Video Info" window. MPEG4 Modifier 1.3.4 almost runs with Mono but there was one bug keeping it from working the last time I checked. I was able to work around it and it worked fine with Mono in Windows, but it crashed when I tried it in Linux. The build with this workaround is here (http://moitah.net/download/byversion/MPEG4Modifier-1_3_4-MonoFix.zip) if you want to try it. The latest version of MPEG4 Modifier won't work because Mono doesn't support WinForms 2.0 yet.

me again :) can the unpackcl.exe tool show header information in the same way mpeg4 modifier does ? i need to check all my xvid files for those that have both divx and xvid codes in the header. as i have a lot of them a command line tool that i can use in a script would be preferable. thanks again.

Are you talking about the user data, like "DivX503b1393p" and "XviD0041"?
