Hi,
I have a video capture device which creates and stores videos onto it in the AVI format as shown in the MediaInfo screenshot.
However I cannot create an AVI using MediaCoder that will work on this device and every time I try to set the GOP settings it just ignores them and the MediaInfo for the computer created file doesn't include these settings at all.
So my question is how can I make an AVI file using MediaCoder or some other software that will work on my video capture device?
Thank you.

Hi bat999,
Yes that's correct all the files the device creates are H264 video files with ADPCM U-Law audio along with the other format settings included in the screenshot and these are the only files the device seems to play, anything other than AVI files it cannot even see the files in at all and unless the AVI file has been created from the device itself any other AVI file just gives the error "File Not Support" when I try to run it.
The testfile.avi file works just fine on my PC, but not on the device that I'm trying to get it to work on though.
It's a very strange one really, if you need any further details please let me know and I'll do what I can to provide those details.
Thank you. -
Try this - the specs match your mediainfo report except for bitrate, but mediainfo only reveals a few things about the video, several other things can be mismatched. You need to post a video sample
You can use x264 directly if mediacoder doesn't allow you to control the settings

Hi poisondeathray,
Please find the sample file that came with the device in question and works fine on the device as it was created specifically for it, I have left the file untouched as it was and is on the device so you can have a proper look at it.
I tried your file, but that just gives the same error and works fine on my PC.
How did you create that file and how do I go about using x264 directly, I'm very new to this kind of thing and not technical minded in any way at all?
Thank you. -
x264 is commandline software. Some of the settings available are listed in that link above
You can use a GUI for x264, something like simple x264 launcher, megui, handbrake, ripbot, and customize the commandline settings (some of the GUI's have a custom command line box) to try to match the video
Test these; they differ slightly by metadataLast edited by poisondeathray; 21st Apr 2014 at 14:52.

Thank you, I will try using x264 directly through one of the above mentioned methods when I get an opportunity to mess around with my test video file again and see how it goes.
Also I have tried both of the test files and they both just give the same error again on the device, but work using my PC, although that test2a.avi didn't work using VLC Player, which is what I use the most for video playback on my PC, worked fine using Real Player though. -
Sorry I don't know then. Even the metadata is "spoofed" on the 1st one (e.g. DSC-India software design team, TI ) , and the encoder string removed for the 2nd one
These were the settings used for encoding
Code:x264 --profile high --level 5 --crf 20 --keyint 30 --ref 1 --bframes 0 --weightp 0 --vbv-maxrate 4000 --vbv-bufsize 4000 --force-cfr -o x264v2.avi input.ext
Code:Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave File size : 767 KiB Duration : 5s 60ms Overall bit rate : 1 242 Kbps Encoded by : DSC-India software design team, TI Subject : MPEG4 MOVIE Copyright : Texas Instruments Inc Comment : MPEG4 OpenDML movie file Video ID : 0 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : High@L5.0 Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 1 frame Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=30 Codec ID : H264 Duration : 5s 33ms Bit rate : 709 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 3:2 Frame rate : 30.000 fps Standard : NTSC Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.068 Stream size : 436 KiB (57%) Audio ID : 1 Format : ADPCM Format profile : U-Law Codec ID : 7 Codec ID/Hint : CCITT Duration : 5s 60ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 512 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 32.0 KHz Bit depth : 8 bits Stream size : 316 KiB (41%) Interleave, duration : 63 ms (1.89 video frames)
The bitrate doesn't match, but your device should be able to play lower bitrates (but not necessarily higher bitrates)Last edited by poisondeathray; 21st Apr 2014 at 16:16.

It's alright, thanks for your help anyway, I may just have to give up with it then, I'll see what I can do first though.
Also I might try one of the video encoders/decoders that Texas Instruments use for various chipsets they manufacture, these seem to be freely available to download and try from their website, but I'm just not sure which chipset I have and whether they have the relevant encoder/decoder for that chipset on their website or not, I'd say it's worth a try though. -
But why do you need to encode files to playback on this device if it's meant for capturing ?
-
Lol, that's a good question and the answer is a bit lame and stupid, but here goes.
I'd like to hook it up to my TV so I can watch videos off that on the TV, not just ones the device has created, but any video I happen to have after I've correctly converted and encoded it to work on the device, it's a nice portable device which I can easily store in my pocket with a nice Samsung Galaxy S3 sized screen for watching videos on directly and it has some good connectivity options for connecting to various output devices whilst on the move and it has a decently sized 320GB hard drive on it to store a good amount of video on it and it can output in full HD quality too with an optional HD out cable, which I'm thinking of buying if I can get some videos working on it and if I can find the correct cable of course.
