Dvvideo in mov container

[Lele-brz]

Hi all,
first of all I'm not sure this is the righ place, if not redirect me to another forum or ignore it.

I'm trying to encode a mov file with dvvideo as a video track and pcm as audio, I use DirectShowSource but the only way to read it was to install Nero Burning Rom, is there some other free codec for that. I use ffdshow and it seems I can read dvvideo but not in mov container.

thanks for any help

bye

ffdshow will happily decode DV, but you need a DirectShow splitter that's able to split MOV files into their audio and video streams - Haali's Media Splitter does it, for instance.

Worked great for the Hot Fuzz trailer MOV that I had rolling around in my Temp directory, at least.

hi, thanks for the quick and useful reply.

Actually what I do is to run DirectShowSource("c:\video.mov")
and this works if install Nero, but the file needs to preserve the .mov extension otherwise it cannot be read!

Another thing I noticed is that if you have an avi container with dvvideo + pcm it's better to use AviSource because DirectShowSource has a very strange behaviour.

I'll try to spilt with the splitter.

thanks
