Playing Native Canon 1DC 4K MJPEG Codec

I shoot with my Canon 1DC and I would like to use the native MJPEG codec in PPCC 2014. When I drop it on the time line or play it on the viewer it plays choppy even at 1/2 res, but if I render it play smooth. If I transcode it to a ProRes 4096x2160 file it plays with no issues. If PPCC 2014 supports native MJPEG files, I would figure it would play smooth or be able to handle it. Ideally I want to edit in its native format so its lossless and saves me time on transcoding, because that's the main thing Adobe promotes and why I use PPCC. I have played 5k RED footage and it plays smooth so what's the deal with native MJPEG support as Adobe states? And I'm on A new late 2013 MacPro 3.5 GHZ 6 Core with dual AMD FirePro D700 graphics cards, so I would assume I should have no issues handling this footage. Any updates on this, and I hope adobe will make this codec more usable in its native format.

Not a lot lower though.
I don't use a Mac so I don't know if ProRes is easier on the GPU than MJPEG, but if I had to guess I would say that it probably isn't the drive after all. Unless the drive is fragmented and the ProRes file is not in a fragmented area. Hard to say.
I think you need to analyze the drive throughput and GPU as well as CPU capacity. If one or the other is maxed out, the tool you use to look at it should indicate that. I know how it is done on a PC but not on a Mac.

.AVI File won't play in CS4, Gspot says all Codecs are properly installed

Hello,
I'm trying to edit a video in adobe premier pro from an Olympus XZ-1 (.avi file/mpjeg) but it doesn't play at all.
I tried to find if there where any codecs missing with Gspot, but it says all codecs are in place.
What else can be the problem and how can I solve it?
Thank you very much in advance!

Jason,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, there is a clearcut answer, with three possible variations.
First, the Nikon should have their version of the MJPEG CODEC on a utility disc. That CODEC might install via the camera's driver, might be a separate install from the disc, or might install as part of a utility (say an editing program) on that disc. Not sure exactly where it will be located, but I feel confident that Nikon will have provided it. That will be the best, as different camera mfgrs. tweak common CODEC's. Even if you do not plan on using an included utility, you might need to install it, just to get the Nikon MJPEG CODEC. I did that for a Canon, and a Panasonic, and got their specific CODEC's, for their AV files.
The two variations would be either the Morgan, or MainConcept MJPEG CODEC, which will be a download and install. The weakness of these CODEC's is that they are more general, and might not reflect a Nikon tweak. That is why I mentioned Nikon's version first. It WILL be as good as it gets.
Good luck, and wish that I knew exactly where the Nikon MJPEG CODEC was located, or what process installed it, but if you find it added, after an installation, I would appreciate if you would update the thread, so that others will then know what to install, to get that CODEC.

Is there a way to make the MJPEG codec for my camera compatible with Lion?

The company states:
"Currently, the MJPEG codec is not compatible with Mac OS and the frame rate of this model will be slower on Mac OS systems."
Does this mean that the language the microscope camera (DinoLite) speaks is not understood, and cannot be translated to be understood, by OS X? Is it like this is a custom dialect of MJPEG codec that would have to be designed to speak to OS X? Or, is there an App for that? Thanks!

A codec is a coding format for media. MJPEG is one such for video. If your computer doesn't have a codec to decode the video component then it cannot play it. If it is some obscure third party codec then it is possible the makers don't care about Macs and only made a PC version. Reading about mjpeg it looks like it is an old codec which has had Mac support for quite some time, but it is possible it is some special variant. The Dino-Lite makers don't provide any details on their site.
...and the frame rate of this model will be slower on Mac OS systems.
that's because the highest frame rate feature uses the MJPEG codec which isn't available on Macs so for Mac use you will have to use a format that only works at lower rates.
You could always throw the general third party Mac codec collection at it and see what happens. In addition to MPEGStreamclip try the Perian set of codecs and VLC player.

Freezing with Native Canon MXF

We're having some problems with Premiere Pro (CS5.5 and 5.5.1) freezing for a few seconds (the screen goes gray, the program doesn't respond for a while, then it comes back) when scrubbing through native Canon MXF files. It's doing it on TWO Windows 7 computers.
Windows 7
Intel i7 Sandy Bridge
Asus Mobo
16GB Ram
Production Premium CS5.5 (one has a 5.5.1 update)
It seems to play fine, but when we're looking through clips in the bins it's freezing way too often to be usable.
We've deleted all the cache files, deleted / reset preferences etc etc.
Any ideas?

@ExactImage: I think 20 seconds would be plenty - enough to evaluate the playback without being fooled by frame caching.
@Roberio: I don't speak for product management, but in my opinion, probably not. Reason being, our 422 MXF support in CS 5.x was not directly implemented by us, it goes through Main Concept components. Consequently, to get a fix, we'd need to take a new drop of the Main Concept SDK. This impacts not just 422 MXF support, but all MPEG support in the product, so it's a more risky proposition, one that generally doesn't happen in a dot release. Evaluating a new SDK drop is something that normally happens during a regular product cycle.
I can vouch that the audio looping bug is gone in CS6, as I was asked to test a file with this problem against my implementation. Going forward, our 422 support will be easier to maintain, as we do all the file handling/container navigation, and only rely on using the Main Concept SDK for the actual essence decoding, so we'll have more control for fixing issues such as the looping audio bug.

What hapenned to the MJPEG codec in Vision 2012 SP1?

NOTE: This discussion is about the 64 bit version of the Vision toolkit!
NI has re-vamped its AVI functions in the latest Vision toolkit (2012 SP1). At first glance, the new AVI functions work fine. At least the 64 bit version now has a wider selection of codecs to choose from (see this old bug that caused issues with codecs in prior versions). However, something strange has hapenned to the codecs!!!
Prior to SP1, I used the "MJPEG Compressor" codec. Honestly, I know nothing about this codec except that it provided the best compression. I don't even know if its a Microsoft codec, or is provided by NI. But with that codec, I could get a smaller AVI file without compromising too much on image quality. I typically used Quality=700.
However, with SP1, that codec is gone! It appears to have been replaced with a codec named "Motion JPEG (NI Vision)". And now I can't specify the quality! Apparently, none of the "NI Vision" codecs allow you to specify the quality. Wow, what a pain!
After reviewing all the available codecs, "Motion JPEG (NI Vision)" is still the best option compared to the others. But now I can't change the Quality! This basicaly means that its actually BETTER for me to use older version of the Vision Toolkit.
Can I get a response from NI on this issue? Assuming that is the same old MJPEG codec as before, why was the "Quality" parameter removed for it?

Greetings, Josborne;
While I do not know whether the MJPEG Compressor or the Motion JPEG (NI Vision) codecs are actually the same, it would seem that the 2012 SP1 readme does mention the fact that the compression inputs in Codecs installed by the Vision Development Module will not have that Quality input (under the Known Issues section)
http://download.ni.com/support/softlib//vision/Vision%20Development%20Module/2012SP1/readme.html
I will thus inform myself as to what might be going on there and as to whether that might or not be changing.
Cordially;

Canon 1Dc camera raw plugin

When can we expect to see a plugin for photoshop, to support camera raw for the canon 1Dc. We are in a disparate need ASAP

http://cinemaeos.usa.canon.com/products.php?type=Camera-1DC
That new Camera has been available for about a month, as far as I can tell.
The Camera Raw folks add new camera support about every 3 months. Quite likely they got a 1Dc before consumers could get it, and the current version, 7.3, was released in mid-December if I recall correctly, so... Do the math.
There's usually a beta version available somewhat sooner than the release. If you're lucky we should see that fairly soon now, I should think.

Mjpeg codec

Hi, I am trying to export a video in Quicktime with the mjpeg codec but it is missing from the video codec list. Can anyone help me?
Kind regards
Suzie

Interesting that you'd ask a question about an Apple application in an Adobe forum.
That being said, you MUST have QuickTime 7 Pro version on a Macintosh computer or use MPEG Streamclip.
If you insist on QT7 you will need to re-enable the codec using the Terminal app and enter the following command-
qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleMotionJPEGA enabled

Looking for a mjpeg codec 64 bits

Hi all,
I have the PICVIDEO mjpeg codec v4 32 bits version. I use this codec to record my game footage with the help of Dxtory. The problem I have is that I can't read the video recorded in Adobe Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2). PICVIDEO mjpeg codec v4 has it's own 64 bits version but the problem is that I have to get a licence for it.
At this point, is there a way to use the 32 bits version of the codec into Adobe Premiere Pro CC? Or does anyone know a free mjpeg codec for 64 bits?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Kevin Monahan,
This is the method I use currently for my footages but the problem is that I have a lot of videos to convert, so I'm trying to avoid this to gain times and also space for my hdd.
Thank you for your help anywway.

Noisy Exports when editing Native Canon Mark III DSLR

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of noise when exporting footage from Canon 5D Mark III IPB footage edited natively. With no effects applied, see how much noise is in the export on the right. original footage on the left. Also a tiny color shift, notice the wall on the right is a hair darker:
It's extremely bad when the image is playing (if I export a video Premiere adds so much noise to the original that I can't show the comparison. Perhaps I'll try to dig up some screen capture software).
There are no effects, I've tried a variety of output settings, always exporting maximum quality, maximum render depth, 20 Mbps, no scaling. I realize it is H264 footage but it should not degrade so much if I'm doing nothing to it.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
I'm working with a 2010 Mac Pro, Mountain Lion, Premiere CC 2014.
Thanks!
Gerry

300Mps is still noisy. Remember, I'm not doing anything to the clip. Color grading compounds the problem. Here's the original vs. 300 Mbps
Here's the original clip from the camera vs. h264 exported out of DaVinci Resolve. Resolve is much cleaner than Premiere:
There is a lot of banding apparent in the Premiere exported clip when it is playing.

anybody else seen this? is this someting that Apple

Oddly enough, when I disable Avast! antivirus, the problem dissapated. Somewhere in there though the read logic from quicktime is probably flawed. It needs to read bigger blocks or something like that for HD video. Never have seen this problem for non-HD. I noticed that searchindexing goes haywire with tons and tons of reads and like 10+ sessions when quicktime is reading an HD video file. I disabled indexing on the drive and For now, I disable Avast! to use it.

Live streaming ( play && publish ) over rtmp/rtmfp with codecs ( h264 && PCMU ) on Android/iOS

I have a question: On what operating systems(android,ios) can be played and published stream with codecs H264 and PCMU with rtmp and rtmfp protocols(live streaming)?
As far as I found out with the codecs can be played on Android(rtmp protocol). On IOS video is not displayed, as I understood AIR environment cuting it.
Another question regarding video texture. Will be included in future releases support for live playing h264+PCMU on IOS?

On iOS, you'll need to be playing a HLS stream for h264 to decode when streaming from a remote server.

Power PC G5 Unable to Play .MOV File with Avid DNxHD Codec

Our client is sending us .mov Quicktimes with Avid DNxHD Codec.
It wouldn't play on our Macbook Pros, but no problem, I downloaded the codec and it ran fine afterwards.
Not having the same luck with our Power Mac G5 Workstation.
It runs on Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8.
Downloaded the codec for Leopard from this link:
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545
Nothing changed.
I play the file and all I see is black as the timeline runs.
How should I fix this issue?

The Power Mac G5 does not have an Intel Processor like the newer macs do. Could that be root of issue?
It is a definite possibility. The link you posted indicated the Mac v2.1 component was compatible with OS 10.5.5 and later which would normally imply QT 7 with or without Intel CPU. However, the editing software applications do seem to restrict their use to "Intel only" Mac systems. For instance, Pro Tools v8.3 and higher are listed as "Intel Only" software. Did try the v2.01 QT codec component or look for anything older?

Canon 1DC vs. 5DIII vs. C300 & Raw Video resolution comparison

I bought the C300 and C100 for what I paid?? Raw video che C 100!! CANON
Canon did not give me the raw video wc 100 oc 300 but the 5D II and III is tucked away for a long time ... bad Canoan
In the battle of the 1080p cameras, the game has changed. Here’s how the 5D Mark III in raw recording mode compares to the best 1080p output from the Canon C300 and 1D C.
The Canon C300 is a very good albeit highly priced $15,000 HD camera, producing an ultra clean and detailed image by oversampling from the same 4K sensor as the C500.
It is the current benchmark, so interesting to see how close the 5D Mark III raw gets in 1080p.
ue to the way the crop mode framing works in the current Magic Lantern build we couldn’t do a final 100% perfect chart test for the 1:1 mode so please treat that last image as a work in progress not a final result!
The Panasonic GH2 is third best on this test, certainly closer to the C300 and 5D Mark III raw than the other cameras, which is astonishing considering the price difference.
The 5D Mark III is slightly cleaner than the GH2, with less aliasing, especially horizontally but it’s still a good result for the GH2.
The Sony FS100 seems to have a soft default output and a strong anti-aliasing filter. The 7D and NEX 5N are a big step down with plenty of moire.
To summarise, I’d put the cameras in order of resolution at 1080p as follows:
Canon C300
Canon 5D Mark III Raw (1080p)
Panasonic GH2
Sony FS100
Canon 7D
Sony NEX 5N / VG20
I’d tentatively say the 5D Mark III in raw 1:1 crop mode has the Canon C300 beaten for resolution, but more development is needed with Magic Lantern before we can say for sure with any finality. For all I know they could have a Super 35mm 4K crop working eventually, it’s too premature to judge the final resolution of the crop mode. Exciting times ahead!
Canon 1D C
The 1D C uses a 1:1 crop (at APS-H) to achieve it’s 4K image, a huge 4096 x 2160. The aspect ratio is slightly narrower than 16:9 and the sensor area used quite a bit less than the 5D Mark III raw in full frame mode.
When you scale 4K on the 1D C down to 1080p you get cinema standard 2K (2048 x 1080) rather than the full HD TV standard 1920 x 1080.
Here’s how the field of view differs between the 5D Mark III in raw (full frame) and the 1D C in 4K MJPEG mode (APS-H). Shot with a Zeiss 25mm F2.0 Distagon.
You have to bear this in mind and how it affects your lenses. The 1.3x crop of the 1D C makes the Zeiss 25mm a rather less exciting 32mm, and the crop vertically is even more due to the narrower aspect ratio compared to 16:9 (or especially 3:2) on the 5D Mark III in raw.
The 1D C and 1D X can do a full frame 1080p image too of course, but the 5D Mark III raw is a lot nicer and more detailed for that.
So 4K is what the 1D C is all about for me.
We shot in 4K Canon LOG, 1080p raw on the 5D Mark III and noticed a few interesting pros and cons for both cameras
I feel the 5D Mark III in raw is both amazing and feature packed relative even to the professional $12k and $15k C-series offerings let alone other DSLRs. It is a dream for anamorphic shooters, offering very clean 2.5K anamorphic images with a 1280p vertical resolution. Various shooting aspect ratios such as 3:2 and 4:3 are not offered on the C-series cameras. To utilise the full height of a 3:2 full frame sensor is a genuinely new feature, as even the factory 5D Mark III crops the full sensor to 16:9 with the standard video mode. The Nikon D800 also crops the full frame sensor. With anamorphic on the 5D Mark III with raw you have a larger sensor recording area than any other DSLR on the market, and considerably different to Super 35mm, APS-C or the 1D C’s APS-H 4K MJPEG.
The 1D C is of course top dog for resolution but the image cannot be graded with the freedom of raw, even from Canon Log. Colour and gradation, especially when it comes to skin-tones are better on the 5D Mark III with raw.
The cleanness of the full frame 1080p mode is also excellent on the 5D Mark III in raw, ahead of any other DSLR on the market and so close to the $15,000 Canon C300 that in the real world it makes no difference. Only on the most demanding test chart could I tell.
