Unable to play and encode with MediaCoder v0.6.1.4063

ant · Post by **ant** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 2:32 pm

I downloaded http://media.revver.com/qt/701100.mov (12 MB; hope it works for you).

I wanted to extract the audio from it, but I get a 55 KB file. Then, I tried playing the MOV file inside MediaCoder, but it fails to show video and plays the audio for one second. Console showed:

What's wrong? I have no problems playing it and many other video files in K-Lite Codec Full Pack v3.80's Windows Media Player Classic v6.4.9.1. Even SUPER (another media encoder) worked!

Method #1

Using Firefox, enter the URL link: http://media.revver.com/qt/701100.mov
Then, using Firefox's main top menu, click on "Tools" and then "Page Info". Next, click on the "Media" tab and find the embedded media, highlight it and then click on "Save As". This saves the file to your computer and then you can use it in MediaCoder.

Method #2

Using any browser, right click on the link posted above (http://media.revver.com/qt/701100.mov) and then select "Save Link As" and save the movie to your computer. Then you can use it in MediaCoder.

Method #3 (only for fast broadband internet connections...otherwise streaming will not keep up with MediaCoder as it processes the file.

Copy and paste the link (http://media.revver.com/qt/701100.mov) into MediaCoder by selecting (from MediaCoders top menu), "Add" and then "Add URL". Paste the link/URL into the box and click "OK". This enters the URL into MediaCoder for processing.

To change the "MOV" file in MediaCoder to another format, but without video (I tested Lame MP3 and it worked perfect in all three methods above).

1. Using the top menu (File/Revert...) Revert all settings
2. Click on the Video tab and uncheck "Enable Video"
3. Click on the Audio tab and setup the format/container/codec you wish to covert to.
4. Click "Start"

Eh? I had no problems downloading the file. I just can't play it in MediaCoder's mplayer.exe. Since it can't play, I can't encode it.

It also streams and plays fine through Apple/QT movie player (which is the extension for Firefox embedded mov files.

If you mean you can't play it after you convert it to audio only, then you have either:

1. The wrong settings for whatever your trying to convert to

or

2. You don't have the codecs installed to play it back

(although, it still should play back fine in MediaCoder)

I just can't play it before encoding hence why MediaCoder fails to encode.

Is anyone else having this problem or just me?

ant · Post by **ant** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 5:50 pm

For kicks, I tried uninstalling, deleting left overs, and reinstalling MediaCoder v0.6.1.4063 (MediaCoder-0.6.1.4063.exe). Its mplayer.exe still has problems playing back the MOV file.

I tried downloading a different MOV file (7.5 MB) (http://bedazzled.onlinestoragesolution. ... _amore.mov). I had no problems playing.

It seems both of these MOV files I tried are different inside based on their properties?

B!ink · Post by **B!ink** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 6:38 pm

I tried playing the file (701100.mov) in MediaCoder via MPlayer. Couldn't get it to work on my end either. It plays the audio and video portion for 1 second before MPlayer window closes out. MediaCoder console prints out the same info as what ant is receiving. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy, I played the file in Media Player Classic and iTunes. They played fine.

I have the latest version of ffdshow tryouts, QT Lite and MediaCoder Extra Codecs Pack.

Other Notes:

All ant wants to do is dump the audio portion of the file without re-encoding (assuming). Tried using stream dumper under Audio Tab and transcode audio only. It dumped a raw AAC file that was not playable in anything I could play in including Foobar. I'm using MediaCoder 0.6.1 build 4063.

SirAuron · Post by **SirAuron** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 12:43 am

Not sure wether this has to do with the problem, but whatever I try to encode comes out with non-playable audio using my usual settings (mplayer as audio source, quality based). Will try some other combinations and let you know of my results.

Well, I was trying to encode to a MP3. We can't even play the MOV file.

So what's the difference? Could it be connection speed (I noticed on my end that the site isn't real fast), video card?.

I'm using the 7z package with extra codec pack.

Wait, why are you playing online? Does it still play fine if you play off your HDD locally?

The only difference I saw:
ANS_LENGTH=241.00

Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4096 in 1481442 bytes).
ANS_TIME_POSITION=0.0
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Exiting... (End of file)

It seems to have problems playing audio? What sound card do you all have? I am using a SB Audigy 2 ZS with its latest non-beta drivers from Creative in Windows XP Pro. SP2 with IE6.0 SP2 and all updates. My full detailed setup can be read here: http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/ab ... puters.txt (primary for the one with MediaCoder).

I can play (stream) it using MediaCoder (Add/Add URL).
I can transcode it while streaming using MediaCoder to Lame MP3
I can download the file (right click/save as) and then play it using MediaCoder.

And, I can play it back (after saving to HD) using numerous other players (Media Player Classic GNU, Windows Media Player, MediaCoder

And, I can transcode it after saving it to my HD.

I have a Creative SB Live PCI card, but I don't think that would matter since it's using pretty standard XP drivers.

I got a variety of codecs installed (K-Lite, Windows, Apple) but again those shouldn't have much to do with MediaCoder's own setup and package. I do have the extra codec package for MediaCoder installed as well (in the MediaCoder directory)

And, I guess I'll mention I'm running an XP Professional OS only SP1 plus the security updates (not full SP2).

Yeah, weird indeed. I hope the developer sees and figures out what's wrong.

Okay, I added the URL instead of saving the file locally to the computer. MediaCoder was able to preview and transcode the file without a problem. However, when I save the video file locally to the computer, it can't preview or transcode the file properly in MediaCoder.
