  1. Hello,
    please bear with me, itīs first question

    I have a bunch of video files with the ending *.mp4 and i would like to convert them to DVD format.

    I tried to do this with MAGIX Video Deluxe, but i could not open the files.

    Then, i followed the help in this forum and downloaded "Any Video Convert" - but this only says "Cannot get media information from the video file ... insert failed" (translated from german).

    So, i am quite helpless in getting further with my plan to convert the files.

    BTW, the "VLC media player" can play the videos, while "SMPlayer" cannot - it only plays the audio-part.


    What can i do now?

    :-O

  3. Thanx for your reply!

    This is "Trialware", that costs $50 to use regulary ...
    I would very much like to get freeware

    But to find a program that works, i would need to know which data format is used in the files.

    Isīnt there a program that can analyse the content?

  5. That is not an MP4 file, it an MPEG transport stream file. Its filename should end in .TS, not .MP4. It doesn't appear to have any video, only audio.

  6. But it has ...

    It was downloaded from a TV-senders webpage with a Mediathek Tool.

    Maybe the name is just wrong ...

    VLC can perfectly play the videos!

    *confused*

  7. Did you leave out MediaInfo's part about the video then?

    I renamed it to "*.bin" to prevent the webbrowser trying to play it

    Umm.

    No.

    Not that i knew.

    I just load the file - same result when using the explorer context-menu.

  10. Try renaming it .TS instead of .MP4. I'm downloading your file now...

    That's a very strange video. It has WMV3 video in an MPEG transport stream. I've never seen this before. Several players could play the audio but only VLC would play the video. I tried several TS muxers and demuxers but nothing was able to handle the video except VLC. I was able to remux the video and audio into a WMV container with VLC's Convert/Save function. Other players would then play the video and audio, although there were some problems at the start (probably because the transport stream starts in the middle of a GOP, maybe even in the middle of a frame).

  11. Thank you very much!

    So, what can renaming accomplish for me?

    What you wrote, sounds like i need to convert it with VLC anyway!

    Or does renaming it to *.ts help getting it recognised by other programs?
