wmv re-record?

[danielb]

Is there a way to play a file with one application to record it with another? i have a problem wmv i cant encode but it plays fine. Ive tryed everythign trust me. Im looking for imaginative ideas. I might end up just hooking grahics card up to my standalone dvd recorder

[mats.hogberg]

...or use some kind of screen recorder. That's about what options are available.
wmv is generally a PITA to reencode into something useful, but you could try with either WMM (and export as DV AVI) or AviSynth, open it with DirectShowSource.

how do you get a screen recorder to record video? it dont capture the video just everything else on screen, i cant encode because of the variuos errors.

[danielb]

wmm wont open it because of the error.

[mats.hogberg]

because of the error.

...of what error?
How about AviSynth?

Sounds like a DRM'd file to me

Another thread i made earlier, i give up wuith tryed to encode, looking for best alternative.

18 out of 20 files work fine, all from same concert, doubt its drm.

Most screen recorders offer an option to just capture a section of the screen. Have a look at CamStudio for a free and pretty good tool.

[danielb]

They dont record video mate, you just get a blank screen where the video plays, i use camstudio myself. I think its the same reason you dont get video on tv as second monitor unless you use image clone function in vlc.

Infact i havent tryed the image clone feature with vlc whilst screen recording, ill test.

[guns1inger]

Try turning off the overlay in your video player and recording.

[danielb]

Yeah tryed all the methods in media player classic just mate. VLC works but it open 3 windows, the 2 new windows look crap, the original looks good, but it wont record

Looks nice on media player. (nice as a recorded msn video stream can be). Anyone fancy a challenge? see if you can repair it? lol Please Ill even send you a chritmas pressie by paypal if someone succeeds in finding a way to do it and it looks good still.

Basically im trying to convert 20 wmv/asfs so i can make a dvd for my girfriend (love ay lol). I have done 18 so far and they look ok on a crt tv. But im stuck with two tracks i cant do because of the errors.

I really dont want to resort to standalone dvd player recording via svid

[danielb]

Program called capture proffesional can record overlay, im investigating tht now

[danielb]

well that was nearly working, now it just jitters really bad lol. Using e6400 so processing power aint problem

Screen Video Recorder next

[danielb]

screen record is telling me to disable hardware acceloration to record video. I might have finally done it

edit: it worked lol

[danielb]

Cool camstudio and hardware acceleration off. looks perfect, just gotta get camstudio to play ball with my soundcard. The offer still stands though £10 if someone can repair is so it encodes using tmpge etc. Thanks

I downloaded the file and used an AVISynth script to open it in TMPGEnc Plus:

DirectShowSource("14uplusurhand _cr_1219.dat.asf", fps=29.97)

Not sure if the fps=29.97 was necessary.

The conversion to MPEG looked like it was stuck at 41 seconds into the video. But I left TMPGEnc running and it eventually (an hour or so) completed the conversion. In the final MPEG file there was about a second of blank video at 41 seconds into the video. Otherwise the file was fine.

[danielb]

can you send me the script and your paypal email mate, wont work for me, been trying all night. I managed only to open a genuine avi so far. cant open asf. heres my script.

DirectShowSource("c:\14.asf",fps=29.97)
clip=DirectShowSource("c:\14.asf", False)
aud=WAVSource("14.wav") 
AudioDub(clip,aud)  
ResampleAudio(48000)
LanczosResize(720,576)
ConvertToRGB24 ()

[jagabo]

Maybe you need the WMV9 VCM? I don't think so though.

[danielb]

Yeah and i just reinstalled it

[danielb]

I changed my script;

DirectShowSource("c:\14.asf",fps=29.97)
ResampleAudio(48000)
LanczosResize(720,576)
ConvertToRGB24 ()

its running now, be back after its done

[danielb]

Nearly done still one playing up.

[danielb]

It was the shitty program i use to download them wm recorder 11. i tryed 4 others until i found the perfect application. SDP multimedia, even does batch mms downloads. Tmpgence has no problems now and each video is perfect. Happy christmas to all.

[danielb]

oh for fucksake every one is perfect played, not one glitch or nothing well happy. But now NOTHING will open them

[danielb]

DONE perfect DVD. All i needed was flashget! It downloaded the fastest and the file opened in EVERYTHING. I must have tryed 6-7 applications to download off the msn video mms urls. Flashget it the only one thats flawless for downloading Asf/wmv streams. So when someone next asks, you know what to tell them. thanks for all ypur help.


edir: just uninstalled 29 applications!!!!! all used to try get them to work.
