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.

  • 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.

  • Exporting Recipients details from all the Notification Subscriptions in SCSM 2012 Sp1

    Hi Team,
    Do we have any powershell script to export the recipients details from all the notification subscriptions from SCSM 2012 SP1. I have tried usind ChildEnumeration, but it didn't return any data. Sooner response would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dinesh
    Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

    Subaru, your solution is not sending the email from different domains though.  And it is initiated manually through the console.
    We are looking for the ability to have subscriptions send emails from different domains or email addresses depending on queues or similar.  In my research, I think the only viable option is to use orchestrator as mentioned above and have it monitor
    tickets for criteria specified.  Its a pain and a huge limitation in my opinion.
    I think the bottom line is to not use subscriptions for a full loop email system.  only use it for emails that will not be replied to.

  • What happen to the Apple Codecs?

    All the Apple codecs in fcp 603 easy setup show up with HDV in front of them and are 1440hdv only.

  • What works in 2008R2 is not working in 2012 SP1

    Setup:
    Visual studio 2010 and 2012.
    Database: both 2008R2 and 2012 SP1
    Issue:
    I have a CLR routine that does bulk update.
    I have trigger on the tables that are being updated.
    Using the same code and the same data, This bulk update query works in 2008, but does not work in 2012, WHEN there is more than one record to be updated.
    My query is simply an update statement, updating table 1 from fields in table 2
    I get no errors when I trace through it in Visual studio 2012, the data simply doesn't update.
    However, if I run it in studio manager, I will get a range of errors, like, 'statement is terminated', or  that there was an error in the trigger, or that it completed successfully, but the data does not update.
    Disabling and re-enabling the trigger works, but that's not a good idea, and since I have many bulk update queries (and have been plagued with issues for the sites that have updated to 2012), I need a solution.
    Any one run into this?  Any ideas about what I can do?

    Well, earlier you said:
    sometimes I get 'the statement was terminated' (nothing else), or I get some error occurred in the trigger, or I get query completed, but the data did not update.
    So there is some confusion about what exactly is occurring.  But without code, there is nothing to do but speculate.  Now you say that when there are multiple records that match the criteria it does not work.  I assume that your context here
    is the update statement - when it updates multiple rows the trigger does not have the desired effect.  If that is not correct, it would help if you could clarify a specific (and hopefully simple) scenario for this case. 
    But based on this information, it seems that the trigger may have an assumption built into it that is not appropriate.  A trigger does not execute for each row - it executes at the statement level and the virtual tables (inserted and deleted) can contain
    any number of rows (from zero - yes, zero - to any number).  Often developers do not realize that the logic must be written to handle a variety of rows; rather they assume that only 1 row is present.  I would also suggest that perhaps a
    similar assumption is made in the update statement you posted - but I don't know the relationship between the 2 tables (Invoice and Cust) so I could be wrong. Perhaps the update statement joins a customer to multiple invoices in some cases (rather than
    an assumed 1 invoice per customer)? Perhaps there is some other oddity that is not evident from a distance.

  • What happened to the "NEW" category in Vision Film...

    Every week I used to be able to check out which new films had been added to the Film Club list but now, the "NEW" link on my Film Club page has gone missing. Has anyone else noticed this? It's still there in the Box Office.

    Already being discussed in another thread.  Several of us are very annoyed with it.
    BT want to up their IPTV views and were boasting they had so many million views for certain categories.  This has now put me off looking for new films.  I can't be bothered going through every film company so I just look at the TV section each thursday now.
    I also notice they have put on the much heralded Disney films like POTC but there is no disney category. 

  • 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

    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-

  • How do I update my VMM 2012 SP1 Guest Services to be the same as the Hosts?

    VMM 2012 SP1 and Server 2012 Hyper-V Cluster
    How do I update my VMM Guest Services to be the same as the Hosts?
    In VMM 2012 SP1 I right click on a VM and select “Install Virtual Guest Services” it installs as expected.
    Cluster validation reports this error:
    The following virtual machines are running integration services that does not match the host computer. You must update the
    integration services on the virtual machines or the host computer to the same version.
    I am able to go to the VM on host and update the Guest Services using the hyper-v manager but I would like it to work in VMM.
    The version on the ISOs on the host is.  6.2.9200.16433 and the version being installed by VMM is 6.2.9200.16383.  
    I am not sure where VMM gets the it’s guests services from.
    Any idea on how I update VMM to match the host?
    Thanks,
    -Lee

    I hope this does not have to be done from each VM in the cluster (hundreds for me in some clusters)?
    I am stunned this cant be done in VMM!!  
    Validate your cluster????  I am hoping cluster validation is better/faster/less prone to time out storage during the storage tests in 2012?  
    Does Microsoft know how easy this is to do in VMware? (shift click all VM's, right click "Install/Upgrade VMware Tools) 
    Thanks, -Lindy
    I know right - I am really trying to be positive about this 'great stuff' that MS have brought us, but really - Going back to the Hosts to do each vm individually??? And saying you can do it in Powershell.....
    I loved the days of DOS, I still use the concepts of it, but I thought we had (or that we were) evolving!!!!!

  • Photoshop Elements cannot load mts video and says I need to install the proper codec. What codec do I need and where do I find it?

    I have a new Dell Inspiron with 8G memory and an Intel i7 processor. I just installed PSE12 and Premier12. I tried to import some video into the Organizer, but the thumbnails are just grey squares, and when I double-click, I get an error message that the system does not have the required codec installed. I don't know what codec this might be or where to find out. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Let me add that I'm running Win 8.1 AND the Premier 12 package runs the video clips just fine. The problem seems limited to the Organizer display.

    Welcome to the forum!
    On the one hand, I may not be fully qualified to answer you, because I have no knowledge of codecs, either what they are or what they do, and have never used them. On the other hand, I use movies often in my KN presentations with no problems.
    First, I import the movie into iTunes. Then, when I want to insert it into a KN presentation, I find it through the Media browser, and drag it onto the slide. (I suspect I don't need to import it into iTunes, and could drag it, or otherwise insert it, from wherever it resides. But all that's secondary.) If I want the movie to start immediately after the transition, without delay, I don't apply an animation to it. And that's exactly what happens: as soon as the slide before is finished, the movie starts. I can do this for full movies lasting an hour or more, but I usually just want a piece of a video, which I get by editing the original movie in QT.
    I hope my low-tech answer helps you.

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • HT3775 avi file what is the require codec

    i dont understand why the avi file will not play on quicktime

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:
