Copy Codecs

[Vortecks]

I wonder if anyone can help?

I'm trying to convert movies into a specific audio/video format to play back on my Fujifilm camera/camcorder.

It captures video at 640x480 @ 30fps using White Pine M-JPEG Codec 1.13
Audio is 128 kb/s, monophonic...... blah blah blah

I've used GSpot to get the file details and spent many hours trying to encode other vids using VirtualDub with the same codecs but it still doesn't play.

My question is.....

Does anyone know of any software that can extract all the info from a video file and convert another file to exactly the same?

Many thanks in advance,

Tony

PS if anyone is adventurous enough, I can attach a video file for someone to see if they can convert something into an identical format

to be honest, this doesn't look too difficult to do, though i haven't tried the same with my own camera (it takes crappy little videos anyway).

use any run-of-the-mill MJPEG encoder (i think ffdshow has one, but obviously you already have 3 installed)

make audio 16k PCM 8 bits (that's pretty damn gross sound, actually).

probably mux it into an AVI 1.0 container (not openDML, but it may not matter). i think virtualdub supports that.

one possible problem is setting the framerate - within the file it is actually set as a numerator and denominator which equate to 30.0fps or 29.97fps, etc. you'll need to know which ones your camera uses (but again it may not matter.)

[edit]

just tried it with my camera... the sodding software that came with it doesn't allow me to upload anything but .jpg... grrrrr

Thanks for that m8,

The framerate is 30fps and not (as I thought at 1st) 29.997fps.
I've tried encoding using nearly every piece of software now but VirtualDub gives the closest results (according to GSpot).
The only physical difference between an original video and an encoded video is the 'Stream type and A/V interleave' where the original is AVI and the encoded one is OpenDML AVI.

I know that some players won't support OpenDML and this is the only thing I can think might be wrong.

The next question is.....

How can I encode without OpenDML in VirtualDub?

(My camera has a 4gb micro-drive and the quality is very good, especially viewed on the 3" screen)
