Anyone know if I can install a windows media 9 codec so that I can extract from a wmv9 clip with ffmpeg? Currently mpeg, avi, and some older wmvs work but newer ones give the error:
QUOTE Input #0, asf, from 'test9.wmv':
Duration: 00:02:40.5, start: 0.000500, bitrate: 144 kb/s Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 16000 Hz, mono, 16 kb/s Stream #0.1: Video: WMV3, 320x240, 1.00 fps Output #0, image, to 'gordon%d.jpg': Stream #0.0: Video: rawvideo, yuvj420p, 320x240, 1.00 fps, q=2-31, 200 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0.1 -> #0.0 Unsupported codec (id=0) for input stream #0.1 This is a RHE box. tia |

you could use MEncoder from mplayer that supports most formats.
Should be able to convert wma's. AndiC |

hrm I dont see anything on there about mencoder being able to convert the new wmvs...
I did see this, which makes me think its not possible: QUOTE 2.1.1.3. ASF/WMV files
ASF (Active Streaming Format) comes from Microsoft. They developed two variants of ASF, v1.0 and v2.0. v1.0 is used by their media tools (Windows Media Player and Windows Media Encoder) and is very secret. v2.0 is published and patented  . Of course they differ, there is no compatibility at all (it is just another legal game). MPlayer supports only v1.0, as nobody has ever seen v2.0 files . Note that ASF files nowadays come with the extension .WMA or .WMV.http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/e...er.html#asf-wmv |

Are you sure these files are wma v2?
have you tried to play them under mplayer? Mencode i thought it could dump any video source to a selected format, perhaps not. AndiC |

Not sure. Windows media player says the codec is WMV9 :
QUOTE Windows Media Video 9
heres the file, do you have mplayer installed? if so would you mind trying to dump a frame? http://images.putfile.com/top10/gordon.wmv This is the command I am using: QUOTE ffmpeg -an -y -ss 0:0:3.001 -t 0:0:0.001 -i gordon.wmv -f image -img jpeg gordon%d.jpg
Thanks for the help. |

QUOTE I have used
mplayer/mencoder to conver RealVideo or MS WMA/WMV files to mpeg I guess the way mplayer works .. if you can play the files you can convert them! AndiC |

Thanks, but can already do wm8....
as ffmpeg is built on mplayer, not had any more luck with mplayer. Im thinking i need to install a codec for wm9, but I cant find one anywhere. |

doh sorry, why can't you convert it on a windows box and upload it? or are you looking for an automated process to create thumbnails/convert to better format?

I doubt you could even do it on Windows, I don't think there is a Video For Windows driver for WM9. Microsoft doesn't want you to be able to transcode DRM'd content.
Maybe parse the Windows XP "thumbs.db" file? Problem with that is that the first frame of a video is usually black. -------------------- Regards, Guspaz.
