Creating MJPEG AVI

Hello,
I want to create a MJPEG AVI from single JPEG pictures. Ok, I have done all the AVI stuff but for using the images I must use a special Hufmann table. How can I set this table via                                    //
JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(bi);
param.setACHuffmanTable();
param.setDCHuffmanTable();
the Hufmantable I need looks like this
/* JPEG DHT Segment for YCrCb omitted from MJPG data */

I downloaded the trial and found the clips would not even load. Then I discovered that if I changed the clip extension from .mpg to .avi they loaded fine. I have been able to edit and apply transitions and effects with no problems. Accordingly, I purchased PrE 10.
Both of Adobe's NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs look for common CODEC's, in common "wrappers," i.e. the file format, like MOV, MP4, AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc.. When one wraps a common CODEC in a wrapper, where the program expects something else, it can get very confused.
This has been happening with some regularity, where some camera mfgrs. are choosing to wrap H.264 (common CODEC) in the AVI wrapper (un-common combo). To date, PrPro has addressed this CODEC/wrapper issue w/ a recent update. I anticipate that we might see similar with PrE 11, but do not kow that it will happen.
When camera mfgrs. "stray off the ranch," it takes companies, like Adobe, some time to catch up. In the case of PrPro, there are historically updates during its 18 mos. +/- life cycle. As PrE is on a 12 mo. life span cycle, not so often, though there HAVE been updates, like with PrE 3.0, when Vista was released just after PrE 3.0 was, and caused many issues. Same with some issues with PrE 8. When that does happen, there are often little "goodies" added in, that might have been sitting on the shelf, waiting for the next big upgrade - though not always.
As per another thread, we are seeing more and more still cameras, that shoot Video as 640 x 480 w/ PAR = 1.0 (square pixels), which is uncommon, by the general Video standards. However, as more mfgrs. do such things, Adobe will need to adapt, and at some point, adopt.
Good luck,

Premiere CC 2014 MJPEG AVI displays incorrectly

I'm running Premiere CS6 and CC 2014 on Windows 7. In a project last opened on a Mac running CC 2014, there are MJPEG AVI files that are not displaying correctly.
When opening the file in Windows Media Player, the video displays like this:
Premiere CS6 and CC 2014 are displaying it like this:
Any ideas why this might be occurring?

It should be noted, however, that you need to be very careful when installing these codec packs because they often contain malware.

Mjpeg AVI woes

I am trying to import Matrox MJPEG AVIs into Premiere Pro CS5. I have the codecs installed on the computer (confirmed through G-Spot), but Premiere does not recognize them. It lists them as an unsupported format.
Any hints on what I need to do? I expect its a reg edit I need, but without some guidance on exactly where to look, I am more than a bit lost. All of our file video is in this format, as well as video we capture and use on a daily basis - so not having it is not an option. Needless to say this is very frustrating.

Do you have the more recent 64-bit versions of the codecs installed? Since CS5 is a 64-bit application, the codecs must likewise be 64-bit--even if the files were originally encoded on a 32-bit system.
I believe that this package has both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Do note that a few of us have had issues with stability and other broken features once these codecs were installed.

I don't use VB, but when I need to do something in javascript for which there is no DOM method I try scriptlistener. Scriptlistener does record 'File-Export-Render Video' so it may be useful.

No Thumnails for MJPEG AVIs in PSE 11 Organizer

My AVI Video clips are not showing thumbnails in the PSE 11 Orgazizer.
Here is what I have observed as I have been troubleshooting this:
The files are MJPEG.
When I double click on it in the organizer window, I get audio, but no video.
If I open the file for edit in Premier Elements, the video thumbnail shows up in project assests and the video correctly plays in the Premier Elements editor.
If I double click on the files in Windows Explorer they open up in Quicktime Version 7.
The thumbnails for the files show in up windows explorer when I browse to the folder they are in.
I selected a file in PSE, chose 'Export to New File" and the file that I created by doing that showed a generic Quicktime icon without the thumbnail in windows explorer. When I double click on that file it correctly plays in Quicktime.
Selecting "Update Thumbnail" has no effect.
Any one have any ideas what is going on with the organizer that might be causing this beavior or is this a know limitation of PSE Organizer. What is the point of having the organizer supporting video If I can't see the video without opening it in the Premier Elements Editor?

MJPEG AVI issues, gspot codec appliance lying to me?

I have two types of videos. One is 1080p from my goggles, one is from my Canon point and shoot.
Goggle 1080p .mov video: Premiere Elements 10 and Windows Movie Maker can import and edit, but gspot codec appliance says it is undetermined.
Crummy Canon .avi MJPEG video: Everything can play it, Windows Movie Maker can edit it no problem, Elements 10 cannot import it, and gspot tells me it is an MJPEG and the codec is installed and fine.
What the heck is going on??
Do I need to export these MJPEGs from Windows Movie Maker and feed them into Elements 10? I can't afford to lose any video quality on those files...
I r dissapoint.
Help!
Thanks,
Brad

WRT330N Transfer over wireless creates bad avi files.

I am running the WRT330N (with latest firmware) with WEP encryption. When transferring avi's from my laptop (wireless) to my desktop (wired) about half the time they come out unplayable or / corrupt file (when I try them out on my desktop or try playing them from the desktop on my laptop). Wireless QOS is enabled, and I just recently added my laptop to the QOS rule over wireless and set the priority to VI (video). I haven't had time to see if that helps. Does anybody else have any ideas and would error correction be better if I used WPA or PSK2 Enterprise or personal on the WRT330N? Tech support was of no help they told me to turn my network sharing password off and if that doesn't help return the "defective" router. Which everything else seems to work fine internet, strong signal, etc. etc. Thanks Again for reading this and for the reply.

Check if the file sharing settings on both the computers are properly enabled ....... Also check if from desktop to laptop if you are sharing the files or videos ....it is working or not .....

"IMAQ AVI Create" not found under menuitem "AVI" (IMAQ 2.6)

Does anyone know why the Libs. "IMAQ AVI Create ,IMAQ AVI Open ,IMAQ AVI Read Frame ,IMAQ AVI Get Filter Names" are not located in the "AVI" menu ? (IMAQ 2.6)
Thanks Mario

The AVI VIs should be located there, if they are not there was probably a problem with your installation. Launch the installer again by going to Add/Remove Programs and selecting National Instruments Software. From there another menu will open showing most of your NI software. Select on NI-IMAQ 2.6 and select modify. Double check that support for your version of LabVIEW is selected, and proceed with the rest of the install. If you are still having problems, I suggest calling going to www.ni.com/support and getting a hold of NI Tech support.

How to read avi file created in labview from matlab?

in labview, i created an avi file using 'microsoft video 1' compression codec and with each frame i have a string data attached to it.
i tried to load the avi file in matlab for further processing, but 'aviread.m' doesn't seem to work.
also does anyone know in matlab how can i play/read an avi file (created by labview) frame by frame and also have access to the data string attached to each frame?
thanks!

Maybe you can use Java.

Create avi from webcam

Hi !
I would like to create a .avi Directly from a webcam by using LV6.1 and WIN XP. Has anyone already developed this type of program?
Regards,
Alexis de La Fontaine

I have used a Logitech WebCam 3000 successfully with LabVIEW. The driver contained an activeX command for saving .avi . Do you think that you might have something simmilar with your driver? I have seen third party activeX drivers for webcams on the web for sale in case your driver does not have this feature.

How to transcode AVI with RGB , to AVI with MJPEG

Hi!!
I create a AVI movie. I use a format RGB. So, the size of movie is verybig!!!! ( 1 GB )
I want to a size of movie smaller.
Regards!

LabVIEW AVI VIs rely on the installed codec to encode/decode.
You need download a codec for the motion jpeg.
It's very easy to find a free codec for it online. Search bing or google instead of NI.

My avi video files are no longer supported in PRE9? Help!

I created a movie in premiere elements 9 several months ago. My video was imported from avi files on my computer. The avi files were originally downloaded from my camera. Everything was fine and I even burned a near finished copy of my project on a DVD. Now, several months later, I open up the project to put my final touches on it and notice that all the avi video files are red in the timeline. On the organizer tab for my project under media type, it says, "offline". So, I clicked on the avi file and it asks me to find it. I find it (the files have not moved) and click on it and I get this error, "Error Message. This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." This is very strange. Do you have any ideas? My operating system is Windows 7.

I kind of suspected MJPEG (just a hunch, as two other CODEC's, commonly wrapped in an AVI, DivX and Xvid, seldom every play correctly to start with).
Now, there are many "flavors" of MJPEG. It is an older CODEC (or really type of CODEC, as there are so many versions), that was ressurected for use in mostly (then) stills cameras, with video capabilities added. It is not a bad CODEC, but each camera mfgr. has tweaked it for their purposes. This can create issues. MJPEG is not the "universal," that say DV-AVI Type II is. Canon will have a version, Nikon another and Panasonic yet another. They all show as MJPEG, but will be a bit different. A similar analogy can be drawn with Camer RAW files - Canon's differ from Nikon's, which differ from Panasonic's, though they are all Camera RAW. Also, Nikon, for instance, is constantly changing what is in their NEF (Camera RAW) files, so that the newest will require the latest release of Adobe Camer RAW (ACR), to be processed in Photoshop. MJPEG is similar to that, with fewer variations - but still individual variations.
Now, there could well be reasons that things have changed. The first one to strike me would be that you installed the software that came with that camera, and included its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, then later removed say the camera's utility, taking that specific version of MJPEG away. You might well have others, but PrE is having a hard time matching them up.
In that article I linked to on MJPEG, I mention two popular MJPEG CODEC's, Morgan and MainConcept. Both are rather generic MJPEG CODEC's, and when MJPEG resurfaced, they worked fine for most such files. However, as time has elapsed, and camera mfgrs. tweaked and tweaked, they are less likely to work 100%. Once, they were the "silver bullet" for MJPEG - but not so much any more.We began seeing more users, with either, or even both, still having issues with newer MJPEG CODEC's. As most camera mfgrs. ship a copy of their specific version, somewhere along with the camera, it became common practice to recommend installing that specific version from the specific camera's utility disc. Unfortunately, that was not always easy to do. Some included their version of MJPEG as a separate installation (best way, IMHO), but many incorporated it into the camera's driver installation (still good), and then there are those instances, where the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC is installed along with other utilities on the disc, such as maybe a little editing program, or a file cataloging utility. Scant mention is ever made of the specific MJPEG CODEC, and how it is installed on one's system. The latter method seems to be the most common now. I have the full utilities, including the camera's own editing programs, installed for my Canon, my Nikon and my wife's Panasonic. That means that I have at least five (think that the total count is eight on my workstation) MJPEG CODEC's: one for Canon, one for Nikon, one for Panny, one Morgan and one MainConcept.
What camera produced those MJPEG AVI files?
Do you have that camera's editing and cataloging utility installed?
Do you have the utility disc for that camera?
Have you removed any such editing, or cataloging utility, between the time that the files worked, and when they did not?
I do not believe that any version of PrE actually installs any version of MJPEG (could be wrong here), though they work with, and include various other MainConcept (mostly MPEG) CODEC's. That means that one will need to install an MJPEG CODEC, and the one specific to that camera, might be required.
You obviously do have an MJPEG CODEC (or more), installed in your OS. As there is a vast difference between playback of an AV file, and editing that same file, it could be that PrE is just not able to use the installed version, with those files. As it once was able to edit them, I am guessing that something has changed, and it could be as simple as cleaning out one of the supplied utilities for the camera, that also removed its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC.
As PrE does not install the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, many recommend not trying to edit such material. I am not of that mindset, but do allow that one might have to do some extra work (and work that is NEVER outlined in the camera mfgr's literature - unfortunately), to get things to work. I had to install a bunch of programs, that I will never directly use, just to be able to edit the MJPEG AVI's from my family's cameras, in both PrE and PrPro. I hate having to do that, as it fills up my HDD with stuff, that will otherwise never be used - but I need the specific CODEC, and it's only available to be installed WITH other software - all too common nowadays, and a mistake on the part of the camera mfgrs. IMO.
Good luck, and I hope that with the specific MJPEG CODEC, you will be back up and editing your footage, as you were once able to do.

PS - sorry for writing an entire encyclopedia there, but MJPEG is not as simple as it could be.

IMAQ AVI Read Frame Trigger Error

I have an application that is creating avi clips of a process. This application is writing frame data which is read later in another application. It is at this point, during the reading of the data that an Error -1074396037 Trigger error is occuring. I am using IMAQ Vision 7.0 and Labview 7.0. Attached is an avi that was created. It consists of a total of 75 frames. Also attached is a simplified version of the frame read part of my application. When reading the frame data I get the error at frames 36 and 51.
I was hoping somebody could have a look and see why I am getting the error.

Hi Terry,
I ran your program with your video and got error 1074395975 DirectX has timed out reading the avi file. I do not think there is anything wrong with your program because I ran your program with a different avi file and it worked perfectly. I also ran the shipping example Read AVI Example.vi with your video and got the same timeout error.
So there must be something wrong with your avi file. Perhaps frames 36 and 51 are missing or corrupt for some reason. Try creating the avi file again and see if you still have the same problem. If you do, then we'll have to investigate the problem with the creation of the file.

Can't save and export to AVi format

I am trying to send a video to Facebook but it says wrong format as PRE. So I
looked at the Create pure AVi project- when I click on the timeline and then go to File, EXport is
greyed out so I can't use it. What am I doing wrong? I have files saved on a secondary drive with 1 Terabyte of space,1st hard drive only has about 7 gig of space.
Pam

Thanks Bill, I must say, I have gotten so much help from you guys!
I have version 8 but in Steve's book on page 212 it
describes the solution. I'll look more closely at the share tab. I have defragmented, cleared space, updated, all the directions given and still can't get more than 7 gigs on my hard drivie- (80Gig) The second drive has 1 Tb. Can I just move Premiere to that drive or do I still need to use the main hard drive.

Premiere CS4 Media Encoder AVIs and Encore Encoding Errors

For some reason, I'm having trouble creating DVD's in Encore from AVI's exported from Premiere CS4. When encoding starts, Encore immediately pops up with an "encoding error". I now, all of a sudden get this identical error on two of our systems.
Most of the time Encore works if I export an "MP2" file from the Premiere CS4 timeline.
Any of you guys having trouble with Encore CS4? To me it has been a lot more buggy and unreliable than any previous version. The program also seems sluggish on our Q6600 4gGB RAM computers! Kind of like the program is straining just to open its windows.
Another thing that is annoying. Earlier in the day, I exported a Flash Web video for a client's review. A few hours later I had to make a 1 hour and 46 minute DVD with chapters for a client that had to be Fed Ex'd overnight. It took forever to complete and I soon realized that Encore defaulted back to the last export...FLASH! cr@p. I would prefer that the program defaulted to standard DVD creation. After all it is Encore DVD.

I'm having major problems with Media Encoder CS4.
When I try to create an AVI file (for example) from a section of my Premiere Pro CS4 timeline, the encoder opens, takes forever to load the project, and then, after I hit start queue button, it again takes forever to load the project in the small window at the bottom of the display.
Finally the "waiting" message in the queue list turns to an orange exclamation mark with the message that encoder "could not read from the source. PLease check if it has been moved or deleted." Which of course it has not been. THis happens even if I preview the section in advance in Premiere. material.
If at any point I hit the settings button it simply reloads the project
