Problems viewing test file

Top  Previous  Next


The test file, videoclip1.avi, which can be downloaded from our server, is compressed with Microsoft's MPEG-4 V2 codec, which is the best way to make supercompressed video clips with scene change detection capabilities.

 

To view it, you must have a fast Directshow MPEG-4 codec filter installed. We recommend the freeware program Ffdshow, downloadable from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761

 

If you are still having trouble framestepping after installing Ffdshow, please select setup/video configuration/scene change and tick the "enable scene change detection" box, then restart the program.

 

Also, if you want to make your own MPEG-4 clips with VirtualDub but do not have the right codec installed, download it from http://www.undercut.org/msmpeg4
