How to duplicate a codec and rename it

July 30, 2013, 9:45 am

First I am hoping this is the correct forum to post this in, and second I am unsure about what title to give it.

My problem is I have a lot of clients that deal converting DVR created video files to dvds. Background is most of the supplied videos from these DVR's have codecs SN40, L263, K263, X263, I263 etc..

I have already learned that with 95% of all these DVR files they have to work with, I can simply use a HEX editor and change the (for example) "SN40" to "H263", or any of the other odd name codecs to "H263" and then the video will play just fine in VLC and other players we have. Also Convert X to Dvd can then convert them to Dvd's without issues.

At first this worked fine. 2 - 3 video clips per week, now there is a lot more and I would like know if there is any way I can maybe copy the H263 codec file and rename it to use SN40. Basically so when a SN40 codec video is played it really uses the H263 codec instead of the non-found SN40.

Please note the SN40 is just an example. I have found a lot of these DVR's just change the codec names so you have to use their players to playback a file. Which in reality its just a renamed H263 codec. I would like to reverse this on the clients computers without having to modify each video clip. And I am assuming that creating a new codec with the correct name the video file has but then uses the H263 codec would be the best work around.

If anyone can let me know if you have found a way to do this, or any ideas on a better way without modifying the actual video files each time I would really appreciate your help.

How can I increase conversion speeds?

I'm currently using Xvid4PSP on Windows 8. It wasn't even a week ago I had conversion speeds of 20-25 fps. Now it's 3-6, maybe 10 if I'm lucky running other processes in the background.

I'm converting television shows from MKV to AVI. It's always the same settings, but my conversion speeds just dropped. I reckon it had started prior to me attempting to manually set a higher priority on the conversion through task manager.


I'm going to try other converters, but I'm adding sub titles. Only a few programs even allow them, otherwise it's a daunting process I'm not willing to really go through. :/

Burning to bluray - but getting SD results?

Hi there,

I'm having issues burning blu-ray discs.

I've filmed some footage using a HDV camera and captured it from tape, the footage properties state 1440 x 1080. Full HD(V)

I've then edited this footage using Sony Vegas Pro 10.0 in a project with the following properties (see attached image)

and burned to bluray using these settings (see attached image)

The burn completed successfully and plays back fine however when I took it to a projectionist friend of mine to see how it looked on a cinema screen, he told me that it was standard definition footage, burned on to a blu ray disc.

I don't understand where I've gone wrong, any help would be massively appreciated here as I feel out of options :S
And does it make a difference if I render it as 1920x1080 HDV or 1920x1080 HD?

Jess

Hello,

Can't force it to resize movie to 4:3 format for example - please see the results on the printscreen.

Anyone encountered issue like this? Is this the fault of video codecs? How to fix this?

Thanks

Is it important to record at 1/(frame rate) shutter speed for 60p?

I understand that using 1/(frame rate) shutter speed is recommended for smooth video, but is it important when you're using high framerates like 60p? Computer games look smooth at 60p and they have no motion blur, so I wouldn't think using 1/125 sec shutter speed would be important to maintain smooth video at 60p.

The reason I ask is that I have the new Sony RX100M2 camera, and am trying to decide if I need to add an ND filter when videoing in bright sunlight.

New Build

Hi everybody :

I'm getting parts together for first (computer) build. I have a question about Optical Drives. On every PC Case, I've notice a standard size for the external bays....5.25". If the external bays are 5.25"....how is a 5.75" Optical Drive going to fit ? Unless there's a way to modify a drive bay to fit the drive. I've been pricing SATA Optical Drives, but apparently, they're not made in the 5.25" dimension anymore. Which poses a conumdrum. PC Cases aren't made to support a 5.75" Optical Drive. But, when setting up a computer.....you come to the point where you install the OS. This is where you need an Optical Drive. ALL Operating System are installed via a disk. And, with a properly running System, you HAVE to have an Optical Drive installed in one of your bays (being it's connected to the Motherboard). So how do you match the two (Optical Drives and PC Cases) together ?

I am using it to record PS3 games, the only format it record is in TS, there's no option in Hauppauge to have a more common and lossless format except by flooring the Mbps. Is there other option to get the most of the recording? like near lossless? I don't mind if it by running another capture software.

as the title suggests, i would like to play around with vp9 but i can't find any software that supports it, does anyone know of any.

and yes, i know about Hybrid but with apologies to Selur the software is really poorly written, it's buggy as hell, the interface is not well designed at all and half the time the encode fails for no apparent reason at all.

so if anyone knows how i can encode some vp9, that would be appreciated.

At some point, you've probably wanted to burn your videos to a DVD. There is a variety of burning software programs you can choose, but there’s one app for Mac is highly recommended if you want to get your work done professionally and perfectly in an extreme cost-effective way. That’s U2Any DVD Creator. It’s a DVD burner specially designed for users which features the functions as DVD burning. It supports almost all popular videos’ formats such as AVI, MP4 and MOV to burn into a disc.

Here the following is a brief guide on how to burn video to DVD.
Step 1: Add video to the program
Click “Add Title” and “Add Chapter” to import your video files to U2Any DVD Creator. You can drag and drop files into the right side of the program window directly. Drag and drop a file to add it to any desired title. Click “Adjust Sequence” or just move the file directly to customize the video sequence.
Step 2: Customize your DVD menu template
You can set the background in “layout” with the offered background styles or select one from the computer. As the same, it’s optional for you to customize or choose the offered styles with the frame and button. Moreover, you can click “Music” to set your favorite music as the background music of your DVD.
Step 3: Preview.
Click “Preview” to preview the working state of your DVD which is about to burn. You can choose D5 or D9. In addition, you can select the quality of the output file which includes best, medium or low.
Step 4: Create DVD
Click “Create” and then there comes a “Burn Settings” window. There are two DVD modes--- NTSC and PAL for you to choose. You should choose NTSC or PAL depending on your DVD device. NTSC is for America, PAL is for Europe.

When I open the DVD in StaxRip it missed some frames. The movie is 96 min long and in StaxRip (or any other tool I used) it only shows 55 min. So when encode is done the movie works up to 55 min then its just adio the rest 41 minutes.

Total frames on the movie is: 144475 and in the cmd window when I encode it says frames: 82792
In the avs script it says 144475 frames. Have demuxed video and audio and tryed to encode them but got same problem. Tryed to mux it to mpeg but still wont work.

Any idea on whats wrong?

TMPGEnc-menus background going to green screen or previous menu background

I have a DVD authored on TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 (not by me), and, at least on VLC Player, the menus only show for a split screen before going to a green background with only the highlights of the links visible, or if you navigate the menus, the background shows whatever menu or image was previous in the navigation. That is, if you open the DVD you'll see the main menu for a moment before it goes to green, and if you follow the highlight of, say, the bonus features menu, the background of the bonus features menu shows what should be the main menu background. What's the workaround for this? Thanks in advance.

just need some clarification on xvid4psp batch processing. are individual video settings the same as the moment they get added to the queue or the same as the current setting that's on the xvid4psp screen?

say I choose 1 setting, open folder for 1st batch, then change to another setting, then open another folder for the 2nd batch, will 1st batch and 2nd batch have different settings?

is it possible to use resize filders in xvid4psp? I can't seem to find any thing like "resize" or "lanczos"

btw, in the processing dialog, one line caught my attention: xvid4psp was using virtualdubmod.exe for muxing videos, wtf?
