DirectShow codec required for my Video Converter

I tried to transfer an .avi video to my V:M and it didn't let me, because the player doesn't support it, but it also says that the video converter is not able to convert it because it needs a DirectShow codec. How do I find this codec for the video converter? I already checked the version number of my converter and I have the latest one available for download here.

This is a common problem which I have experienced myself. It seems that direct show codecs are not always licensed by the video providers. I found this with content from 7 digital. Unfortunately I haven't found a solution to it yet, other than to record the video with screen capture software such as ZDsoft.

  • Steep System Requirements for HD Video

    Did anyone notice the system requirements for HD video in iTunes 8?
    "Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor"
    and "Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM"
    I'm not sure if the video RAM requirement would mean that any Mac with integrated graphics would be excluded or not.
    On CPU requirements alone, my 1.83 GHz MBP and certainly my iMac G5 are excluded, but it also excludes the current base Mac Mini (often purchased as a media center) and either version of the MacBook Air.
    I plan to experiment to see if an HD video I buy from iTunes will play smoothly on my MBP, but I'm a little confused as to why the requirements are so steep. My MBP certainly has the processing power to play HD video. It can play any of the HD trailers from Apple.

    I have a 2.0 GHz Imac early 2006 with the original Core Duo. I'm buying 5 episodes from Eureka Season 3. I played a few minutes of the first one, and it seemed fine. It uses about 100% of one processor. Using 100% on a single processor system would be a big problem, because any minor peak would make it run out of juice. But 100% of one processor on a 2-core system should be fine as long as it's using both cores. At any rate, in a short test things looked fine.
    If it's really using threads properly it looks to me like even the 1.83 GHz Core Duo might work.

    2. There is a function module to retieve the employee photo in URI.
    you can use that URI in your Iview.
    code:
    call function 'HRWPC_RFC_EP_READ_PHOTO_URI'
    exporting
    pernr = '00001185'
    DATUM = SY-DATUM
    TCLAS = 'A'
    importing
    uri = uri
    and URI should be of the type TOAURI-URI.

  • Best program for TOD video converting Yosemite?

    Can anyone recommend a good free program for converting TOD/MOD videos on Yosemite?
    I used Handbrake for a period of time but it rarely updates and needs quite a lot of tweaking to get exactly the desired result, which makes me annoyed. I am still using the iPhone 4S profile.
    Thanks.

    macx video converter is the software I'm using now to finish my video conversion. It rocks with Yosemite and my MacBook Air. It supports a wide range of videos as input, like AVI, MOV, TOD, MOD, MKV, M2TS, FLV, WMV, etc.
    I think it is good enough for me. You can have a try.

  • Minimum Hardware Requirement for AVCHD-Video & Final Cut Express 4

    Hey there,
    I am currently searching for a computer to cut my private HDTV-Video (AVCHD format) and tend from rather buying a 4-core water-cooled Windows-PC to switch to a mobile apple solution.
    Who knows which models of the current MacBook Pro - line are fast enough to handle AVCHD-Videomaterial in real-time? Is a 13inch 2,4GHZ Core 2 Duo fast enough, or the 2,66GHz version required, or even the 15inch with the better graphic card an issue?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    You can edit AVCHD without to much of a problem on any Mac model. Most operations can be done realtime, though some it will be impossible to pull of in realtime. If you are using Final Cut, the operations that can be performed real-time are clearly indicated. Those that aren't realtime are typically things that go beyond basic composition.
    For non-realtime manipulations, the speed is directly proportional to the CPU and bus speeds of the Mac.
    When you export your finally rendered edits, however, that process can take time, depending on the nature of the transcoding and rendering involved. There's not much you can do about that. Even a dozen CPUs won't typically speed that up. However, there's hope that future versions of iMovie and Final Cut will support GPU-accelerated codecs that will improve that situation a lot.
    That said, what's really important for video editing is: gobs of fast storage, and a really big display. Imagine that you are editing 1080i content. At full resolution, that's 1080x1920 pixels. If you're video editor is a typical NLE, you've got to accommodate the timeline window, the viewer, the canvas, and the clip library on screen all at once. In a pinch, you might be able to work with a tiny screen on the go (with the windows overlapping one another, or tabbing between them), but you're going to want to do most of your work using something with a LOT of pixels. AND, if you are doing it professionally, you're going to want to make sure that the displays are properly color-calibrated.

  • PC requirements for Desktop Video

    Assuming its a 220k wmv 8 live event.
    PC would have to WMV 8 codec but what is general rule for CPU and RAM.
    Is there a customer facing doc?

    Normally, a 220 kbps wmv, won't tax your computer CPU that much.
    A video like this can be watched in almost any computer with a CPU higher than Pentium 2. It could actually play in a Pentium 2 depedning on how movement the video it self has.
    As a general rule, I wouldn't care much about the computer CPU or RAM until the video code rate goes over 1 Mbps.

  • System PSU requirements for new Video Card

    I need to know if my system can support a new video card (fx5600 or radeon 9600 up) considering that I only have 300 watts psu. What voltage railing and how much current does these cards use? I cannot find any technical specs for these cards so I cannot compute for the power requirements my system will need if I change video cards.

    Given a 300watts PSU, I would not placed my bets on either cards as the Fans don't really eats up the powers, it's the CPU + RAM + Mobo + VGA that are the main power consumers!!!
    Considering a recommendation for you to go with the current PSU you have, most probably a GF4 MX440 will max out every supplement there.

  • Bandwidth Requirement for VT advantage..

    How much BW is required for a Video calls for g729 codec and g.711 calls.
    Where to define the codec for video calls.
    How to size the BW for calls over LAN as well as for WAN.

    There is no g729 or g711 codec for video, it is wideband, h.263, etc. G729 and g711 are for audio calls only.
    The VT Advantage video cameras support Wideband video codec, i.e., up to 8128 kbps, which if used is ofcourse recommended only with the same LAN, and H.263 video codec, i.e., from 128 kbps to 1.5 Mbps, over the WAN.
    Codec for video calls are defined in System > Region but in terms of bandwidth (128kbps, 384kbps, etc in increments of 64kbps) and not the actual codec.
    For connections over the WAN, 128 kbps is the minimum and considered low-quality video, and from 384kbps upwards considered high-quality video. However the actual bandwidth used on the WAN and the QoS configs would be the bit-rate + 20% overhead, which for a video call at 128 kbps would be 154 kbps and for a video call of 384kbps, would be 460 kbps. This bandwidth includes both video and audio channel of the video call.

  • Video Converter with Alpha Channel support

    Looking for a video converter (.mov to .flv) that supports alpha channels

    The APNG app is available for free in the app store, you can use it to download a video in APNG format on the iPad. You would need to make the video with an alpha channel on the desktop, but then just type of URL into the URL at the top of the app and it should download and play. There is already support in the app for changing the background color that appears behind the video.

  • Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate

    I saw the advertising for Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate and it seems to boast a lot of features, including being very user friendly. My Mac has Mountain Lion installed and I have IMovie and IDVD on it.  I think those applications, as nice as they are, are simply very complicated and oversaturated with features that you need a college degree and endless hours to learn about it. 
    If I download Wondershare how will it compare to IMovie and IDVD?  Will I gain or lose in doing so?  Or is what I have sufficient?  And will there be compatibility problems in using it?

    I agree with you feeling about iMovie (I'm still using iMovie 6 HD) but I think iDVD is very easy to use, many good themes to pick from and an all around excellent video DVD authoring application.
    What do you have trouble with in using it?
