Splitter for svq3 streams ?

[varunb]

Well i downloaded Order of the Phoenix trailer(in quicktime format) yesterday & frameserved it using avisynth. When i tried to play it on Media player classic, it gave me this error:

"The splitter failed to provide necessary information to decode the svq3(sorenson....) stream properly. Please try an alternative source filter".

I tried playing the avs file after installing Haali splitter, Gabest Mp4 splitter, 3ivx but none of them helped. I have ffdshow_rev486_20061102_clsid installed but it didn't help either. So is there any filter available that can help me play such quicktime files using avisynth ?

Nero Filters (NeMP4Splitter.ax, NeQTDec.ax) allow playback of QuickTime movies with QuickTime native codecs in any DS-based application, this should normally also work for frameserving if you use DirectShowSource...

Well Mediator, the .mov file plays fine on MPC but on frameserving this using avisynth to MPC, it gives me this error. I dont know about NeMP4splitter.ax but NeQTdec.ax didn't help me. I have tried this using Graphedit but i still get this error with the avs file.

If you use ffdshow + MPC you have to set like this:

MPC: Options -> Format -> File Extensions
Set Quicktime with Directshow

ffdshow Video: Codecs
Set SVQ1 and SVQ3 to libavcodec

ffdshow Audio: Codecs
Set QDM2 to libavcodec

Thanx Peuj. I did as u said:

But it still didn't help. I was wondering if the ffdshow version i am using is fine for decoding svq3 streams.

Try rev568. The SVQ3 decoder is fully working way before 486, and it'll only give that message if the splitter fails to provide a required structure with the video data. But it works for sure in the latest MPC with MPC's (gabest's) splitter, so I'm not sure why it isn't there.

The alternative is that yours is somhow more interesting and the decoder is totally failing on yours.

try gabest's or haali's mp4 splitter, together with ffdshow with svq3 enabled

or try mplayer or videolan

[foxyshadis]

Haali's specifically doesn't work, it's the one the message was inserted for.

Here is an SVN build of Gabest's MP4 splitter:
