file formats

[comet_104]

Hello:

Where can I find a player that would play back the new file formats such as telecine or good cam? divx doesn't work and windows media player won't work. Can anyone give me some advice here?

Comet :P

telecine is not a file format.

Hey Foo:

Telecine may not be a file format but what kind of player can I find to play movies with the telecine frames in them? I'm also looking for a player to play good cam or blue group.

Anything that has a MPEG2 decoder should do Telecined NTSC.
I dunno what those other things are. Sounds like marketin bullshit sortof

I've seen these before - they are .avi files, with that listed in the titles, correct? As in, filename.goodcam.avi? Or filename.telecine.avi? If so, then it sounds lke you just don't have the correct coded to play the files. Have you downloaded gspot from the tools section? That should tell you what codec you need to play the files.

download DivX and MP43 and ya should be set. These better be LEGAL telecines....heh.

Yeah, right

It is probably in PAL too. That would be 25 frames per second to the un-initiated. Sounds like you got some learnin' to do. Read the Faq's.

Give him/her the benefit of the doubt - maybe they are someone's "home movies", if you know what I mean

At least no titles were mentioned...

Yeah telecine and "good cam" would be processes not file formats. lol

A good player you may want to try is the Philips DVD726. https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDname=philips+dvd726&Search=Search It can play raw MPEG2 files, which may be as close to what you are trying to get as you can.

For an explanation of the 'Telecine' process you are refering to you can go to www.vcdquality.com and click on any of the phrases under the 'Type' column.

ALSO: Just remembered...The KISS DP450 will play raw Divx/Xvid files....depending on how much you are willing to spend this player will also save you any re-encoding.
