What video format is this?

[Dark Shikari]

I managed to derive this video from the cache of a particularly odd proprietary video player (http://vusion.com/showcase/SC3/) which I thought was using H.264 (due to the relatively even spacing of startcodes throughout the file in a manner which would suggest frames) and possibly x264 (due to blurring/artifacting on sides of the frame which have black bars, from AQ).

But I can't figure out how to parse it to make sure. Editing the FOURCC to AVC1 allows Streameye to open it, but it only indexes the AVI file; the stream itself is completely unreadable; it can only get me a graph of frame sizes from the AVI itself:

If you have any idea what strategy to use to try to analyse this file, or what format it might possibly be, I'm open to ideas :)

Use ffdshow to decode it in VirtualDub, enable absolutely anything and everything in the VFW decoder codec dialog box. :D

Only thing I can suggest is try different 4CCs (VSSH for instance) and see whether it's decoded.

After little searching in WARPVideoPlugin...

I'm think it use on2 VP7 codec (+ OGG Vorbis for audio).

Unfortunately...
Warp Video Player > Jittr Video Player
and from Jittr Video Player FAQ:
Are videos saved on my Computer? Can I access them?
The Jittr Video Player temporarily caches encrypted video chunks - not complete videos.
In order to re-play a video, you need to return to the web site which contained the video.

Well, just video on demand...

If i read

Vusion's Next Generation WARP Technology


I have to think imediately about General Lee Demented ;D

PS: It seems to be P2P enabled, and decrypting on the fly different chunks of incoming packets see WARPVideoStreamer.exe :)


“Jittr’s own HD media format is by far the most efficient encoding and container model available
for streaming media,” said Aaron Crayford, Chief Technology Office for Jittr Networks. “We will
continue to extend and enhance our own media format while we grow our list of other supported
media. H.264 is a natural such extension for us because it is an improvement over the current
H.263 encoding common in MPEG4 video. In fact, H.264 has been around for 4 years now and
only a lack of CPU power on average PCs has slowed down its adoption. Now a typical
consumer PC can handle H.264 video and the market will natural grow in that direction.


Uhmm yeah i wonder why never ever someone heared of Jittr HD before, for me this sounds like another Hype company :P

http://localhost:6267/ <- there you can configure the connection settings

Jep its somekind of AVI with .OGG, tough the videopart seems encrypted

Explains why ffdshow couldn't decode it. I tried *all* 4CCs, and nothing worked, just green frames.
