Re: viewing .asf files with WMP 11.0 for XP


This file shows up as corrupt:
* Data Object doesn't have a packet count
* Properties object packet count is 0
* Data Object size not set

I played one of my own MP4S ASF and it worked fine.

Um, any file upload site would also work fine. Rapidshare, sendit, etc.

What methods are supported to attach files in this site? Should I put
it
on
any certain site for your access?

MP4S sample clips in my archives, but I'd like to peek at what you're
looking at. =)

This won't help you guys much but here is the latest reponse from
JVC.
I
think they have thrown in the towel. I don't think "MPEG4" is
specific
enough to help me out so it is all up to you guys now. You are my
heros!

After further review the video clip files stored with this camcorder
are
compatible with MPEG4 players. Which player to use specifily JVC
will
not
be
able to assist you with. Once again I have done some personal
research
and
found a lot of freeware programs that might play back files.

Popular players I came across are quick time and divx player. Here
is a
link
to better assist you:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=MPEG4+player

I don't want to install anymore programs to my PC as I might have
already
made a mess of it trying to figure this out. But do you think I
should
try
opening the files with the Divx player or wait while you sort out
the
codec
needed? I think I have the MP4S codec supported on my PC yet it
won't
play.
Could something be corrupted?

Where does it say MP4S is DivX? It's the old Microsoft fourCC. I
can
double-check the fourCC registrations if you want, but I'm pretty
sure
about
this.

I think DivX only registered DIVX and DX50... ?

I think possibly the simplest way to repair that would be to put
DivX
on there - it should enable MPEG4 playback of pretty much all
types

http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/

That's quite a common codec for downloaded AVIs too, so it's
generally
useful to have. There's no cost for just the codec part of DivX.

The MP4S code, now I come to look it up, should be DivX 4 (I
thought
it was MS MPEG for some reason last night) and DivX6 is backwards
compatible with that.

Neil,
Yes now that I know what to look for in WMP I do see the FFDShow
in
it.
And
now when I open these JVC files with WMP 11 I no longer get the
"codec
missing" message and I can hear the audio but still no video is
shown.

This is the version that I installed.

Once that's installed, is there any change in playback
behaviour
in
media player ? FFDShow makes itself accessible to media player
(there's actually a menu option appears on the More Options ->
DVD ->
Advanced section of media player)

My JVC digital camcorder can save "email" sized video clips

WMP says I
need a codec and gives me this message.

You've encountered error message C00D10D1 while using
Windows
Media
Player.
The following information might help you troubleshoot the
issue.

Codec is missing
Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play
either
the
audio
or video portion of the file) because the Microsoft ISO
MPEG-4
Video
v1.0
(MP4S) codec is not installed on your computer.

The missing codec might be available to download from the
Internet.
To
search for the Microsoft ISO MPEG-4 Video v1.0 (MP4S)
codec,
see
WMPlugins.com.

WMplugins.com doesn't have a download file for 11.0 on it.
I
have
installed
several codecs (G.726, etc) and even tried to open them
with
VLC.

I can hear the sound but no video when I open the file with
VLC.

I used AVIcodec which tells me the following information
about
the
file.

File : 86 KB (0.00 B), duration: 0:00:00, type: ASF,
1
audio
stream(s), quality: 2 %, ,

Video : 0.00 B, 144 Kbps, 0.0 fps, 160*120 (4:3), MP4S
=
ISO
MPEG-4
Video V1, Supported

Audio : 0.00 B, 16 Kbps, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, 0x45 =
G.726,
,
,
Supported

I have searched the web and this site and don't see a
solution.
JVC
hasn't
supplied me with the answer either.

Can any tell me how to get the proper video codec needed?
