Request VC-1 HD-DVD compliant samples.

[vsv]

I need a few short (20-30sec) samples with different resolution
720p, 1080i encoded to vc-1 for HD-DVD.
Thanks in advance.

Here, try these (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx).

It's weird they're on a WMP9 page, but unless I'm mistaken, I think these are all WMV3/VC-1 HD-DVD compliant sample files.

Hmmmm....

I'm able to play all those HD WMV9 samples using my stand-alone player.... But I'm unable to play VC-1.... So I guess they have not been encoded to VC-1 spec :scared:

thats wmv hd, not hd-dvd compliant
Indeed. VC-1 compliance and HD-DVD compliance are not the same thing, just like MPEG-2 compliance and DVD compliance are not the same thing.

That doesn't make sense. WMV9 is VC-1.

ahh, thx Bond, I see. It's all explained very nicely right here, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1#WMV3)(from where I've taken the phrases in quotes below):

"The Windows Media Video 9 (WMV3) codec implements the Simple and Main modes of the VC-1 codec standard".

WMV-HD is still Main Profile - it's just "Main Profile @ High Level (MP@HL)."

I assume what vsv needs is "WVC1, also known as Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile, [which] implements the Advanced Profile of the VC-1 codec standard".

OK, what about the two files here (http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/WVC1/). They won't play for me, that's a good start ;)

What do they not play on?

That doesn't make sense. WMV9 is VC-1.That's what I thought too.... but you try telling Sigma Designs Inc (http://www.sigmadesigns.com/public/index.html) that....

They don't seem very keen at adding VC-1 support to their EM8620L chip-set :eek:

But what VC-1 content were you trying to play? Your statement doesn't make much sense unless you specify what content (container, fourcc, profile) you were trying to play.

It's a 19.8MB sample called "TheNoteBook"

Which I think is still available from here (http://dvbportal.dyn1.de/ts/thenotebook-vc1-1080p.wmv).

Where are you, Ben? ;)

That's encoded with WMV9 Advanced Profile. Rarely any hardware chipsets support it yet.

Sorry, been a few crazy weeks.

As Zambelli says, it's not broadly supported in chipsets quite yet (VC1 definitely is, but not so much WVC1 in WMV wrappers yet).

Small sample (1,91 MB) VC1 ES 1440x1080i29,97 encoded from HDV source:

It's MPEG2 not VC-1 :(
