[MasterElwood]

Someone did this with Iphone Videos here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156768

here is a sample:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3775237/Cano...p%20Sample.MOV

Please help.

And thanx in A.

remux with tsmuxer to .m2ts. if tsmuxer won't like .mov then remux first to .mkv with mmg.exe and then import mkv in tsmuxer.
if .mov has aac audio then you should use .mp4 container .
ffmpeg.exe -i video.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy -o remuxed.mp4

The link is down. Are you sure the video & audio compression are PS3 compatible ?

What does mediainfo (view=>text) say ?

Canon DSLR's are Baseline Level 5.0 (1 Ref frame) with PCM audio.

Default bitrates of around 45Mbps.

I would assume the little 'Power Shot' would be the same as I think it has the DIGIC 4 processor.

Yes, DSLR's are, but I believe the power shot is point and shoot

They often use mjpeg in MOV

Other brands perhaps, but Canon uses the same DIGIC processors as the DSLR's in ther point and shoots.

Just that the Canon DSLRs shoot in AVCHD, not in MOV, DiGiC or no DiGiC. I know this is just a marketing decision and not a technical one, but this doesn't magically change the MOV into AVCHD. In fact the quoted message explained in fully this power of marketing, to make people believe they can get more with less money, which is false, of course.

The only solution is to convert/demux the MOV into another format. I don't know Canon (I'm a Nikonist), but my experiences with small cameras used for filming is that one needs the Quicktime fullversion ([I]ie one has to pay :)) to properly decode these files or variable/uncorrectable audio delays may occur. Canon needs to protect its camcorder division, too.

[mp4 @ 03850050]track 1: could not find tag, codec not currently supported in container

What's not to understand about this? Not to mention the fact that it should be highlighted in red.

You cannot put PCM audio into mp4, you will have to encode it into some supported format: aac, ac3 or mp3

pcm is allowed in .m2ts. it is worth to try at least.

What nonsense are you on about? Canon DSLRs do output into MOV!!!

I know this because I am a Canon user, and have a DSLR.

Can somebody help, please?

[nm]

You didn't give any information that could help solve the issue. What did ffmpeg print out when you did the conversion? What does Mediainfo say about the original file?

Or even better, post a sample clip. Straight from the camera without conversions.

Thank you for your reply.

No problems playing your sample with VLC and MPlayer after the conversion.

Which player did you try?

You are fast!!

It plays on PC, original or converted. Problem is playing with Sony Bluray player, I think it's similar to OP's problem, he was playing with PS3.

The Bluray player can play video shot by Sony Nex-5N or Nikon AW-100, just can't handle the videos from Canon. :(

This is also something you could've mentioned right in the beginning... :sly:

As Audionut mentioned earlier in this thread, the H.264 streams in these Canon files are Level 5.0, which is probably why Sony's players don't like them. You could try cheating the player by changing the level flag to 4.1 with roozhou's modified ffmpeg (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152419). It's not guaranteed to work though.

Re-encoding is the way to go for better compatibility.

[moonwander]

Thank you nm!

Re-encoding is too time consuming.

I tried to trick the level with -vbsf h264_changesps=level=30, ffmpeg complains...

ignore my previous post. The trick worked!

Have to download the hacked version of ffmpeg, then use it against the output of previous ffmpeg. It's still much faster than re-encoding! Thanks a lot!!!:thanks:
