Hi,
I have some vivo files which I can't play with anyother software except Vivo player. So I wanted to know if there is any tool that converts from Vivo to mpeg or avi or any other standard format?
Thanks.

Jagabo's suggestion (inspect media and spoof with a modern/standard player) is the preferred method, but if that doesn't work, you can always fall back to using the vivo player along with a screen recording app (e.g. OBS), recording to a ~lossless format before editing/processing and then finally encoding to your preferred final format.
I have to do it that way with crappy Cisco Webex meeting recordings, as the internal export feature is pitiful (very low bitrate wmv or mp4, with the video in a small window of the whole recorded screen).

I don't know how to change or fake the fourcc. I found a program called "FourCC Changer", but it only supports AVI files. Wikipedia says that MPlayer can open VIVO files. I installed a copy and tried playing the file. All I get is audio, but no image.
FYI, I'm using Windows. -
I tried to analyze the demo clip shipped with VivTV using ffprobe:
Code:[vivo @ 000000000041ee40] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: none, none, 320x240): unknown codec Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' (0) and 'probesize' (5000000) options Input #0, vivo, from 'VivTV.viv': Metadata: Rate : 000019829 VidRate : 000138277 Playtime1 : 000003000 Playtime2 : 000003000 Buffer : -1 Preroll : 000001038 Title : VivTV III Author : MediaTV Copyright : � 1999 MediaTV Producer : VivoActive Producer for Windows Version 2.0 DisplayWidth : 000000320 DisplayHeight : 000000240 TimestampType : relative RecordType : 03 InitialFrameLength: 000000040 GainFactor : 000006283 Duration: 00:00:15.93, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 158 kb/s Stream #0:0: Video: none, none, 320x240, 15 fps, 15 tbr, 15 tbn, 15 tbc Stream #0:1: Audio: siren, 16000 Hz, mono, flt, 6 kb/s Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 0
As far as I remember, VivoActive was heavily limited in resolution and bitrate. It may not be a hard loss.
Attached two ancient clips for anyone curious enough. -
conversion works fine with 32bit mencoder (and the necessary vfw dll):
1. download 32bit mencoder
2. download mplayer codecs pack (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html#binary_codecs)
3. extract codecs pack next to mencoder&mplayer
4. rename the extracted folder of the codec pack to 'codecs'
5. call for example:
Code:mencoder -oac pcm -ovc x264 -x264encopts crf=0 c:\Users\Selur\Desktop\VivTV.viv -o e:\Test.mp4
Code:mplayer c:\Users\Selur\Desktop\VivTV.viv

Ps.: this only works with 32bit mencoder&mplayer since vfw support is only for 32bit.users currently on my ignore list: deadrats, Stears555 -
Everything I still have about VIVO is in the attached 7z archive. I think that's the whole codec.
Some info here: https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/Vivo
And there, about MPlayer: http://tuxrip.free.fr/MPlayer-DOCS-HTML/en/audio-codecs.html
7.2.5. VIVO audio
The audio codec used in VIVO files depends on whether it is a VIVO/1.0 or VIVO/2.0 file. VIVO/1.0 files have g.723 audio, and VIVO/2.0 files have Vivo Siren audio. Both are supported.Last edited by Brazil; 26th Oct 2020 at 13:08.
