Wannabe Rep: 0 Joined: 07 Aug 2005 Posts: 30 OFFLINE | Help!!! I wish to use my camcorder like a portable movie viewer. It excepts videos using the following - ISO MPEG-4 Video V1 & IMA ADPCM. Now my problem is that I have encoded several video clips with the above codec using windows encoder and they all come out 'weird'. multicoloured blocks appear on the screen instead of images, occassionally I do get images but mostly just seemingly noise.
Anyone know how I can fix this? There is very little info on my cam on the net, there is no software available for it.
More tech specs for my cam are -
10fps 640 x 480
Can anyone help? Im all out of ideas.

http://moviecodec.com/topics/5175p1.html
It’s a bit of a long reading, but contains a lot of good info. There’s no final solution yet as of this post.
Another thing you might want to check (since you may be using a different kind of camera from the one the posters in that thread used) is to feed the video files produced by your camera into avicodec (http://avicodec.duby.info) and note all the important details (type, video bitrate, frame rate, resolution, video codec, audio bitrate, audio sampling rate, number of channels, and audio codec) and try to match them as closely as possible when producing test videos (if you can that is).

Wannabe Rep: 0Joined: 07 Aug 2005 Posts: 30 OFFLINE | Thanks for that but I believe I might have found the problem. The movie from the camera, when put through ASF view uses “ISO MPEG-4 Video V1” "" WMT_CODECINFO_VIDEO M4S2.
Windows encoder produces
“ISO MPEG-4 Video V1” "" WMT_CODECINFO_VIDEO MP4S.
Windows encoder is what I use to change my movies so that they work on the camera.
Technically, its more or less the same codec but for my cam, there seems to be a big difference. Ill see if I can encode to that exact format.
