mp4 file laying slow

[fulsik]

hello i have a mp4 file and at first i could not get it to play. I then installed the k-lite codec pack 2.7.2 and it managed to play it but in slow motion. How can i fix this?? ive tried uninstalling the codec pack and just installing some '3ivx' codec but that did not do anything.

The picture only plays in slow motion once the codec pack is installed, otherwise it won't play at all - windows media player doesnt play it at all, vlc player does an illegal operation and closes and ive tried with nero showtime and it only plays some wierd music which i don't know if it's the correct audio to go with the file or not....

can anyone help please??


*edit*

i opened it with gspot this is all what it says:

container
------
file type: 3gpp media (.3gp) [MP4 compat.]
mime type: video/mp4

then when i tried to 'render' it it gave me a error and it ended with cannot playback the file. the format is not supported.

Try haali media splitter as the mp4 decoder and ffdshow for the video.

but if it is a high resolution h264/avc it requires a faster cpu than a p4 1.6.

Hi, i installed both of them and now the picture appears but is still in slow motion, the file is 700mb and i have tried finding software to convert the mp4 file into something else so i could make the resolution smaller and maybe it will play then,

any ideas?

p.s. i have never had any trouble playing files of high resolution which were around 700mb .avi file's until this

Are you getting Audio? is it in slow motion?

Could be you're just underpowered and the computer can't spit it back to you on time.

Could be (but not very likely) that the piece was actually a slo-mo movie.

The mp4 container isn't the problem. It would be that the video is AVC and your hardware simply isn't upto handling it. Remuxing to avi wouldn't help. You would need to lower the resolution and or convert to something more CPU friendly, such as XviD (MPEG-4 Part 2).

Hi,

to answer your questions the audio is playing fine (it's music) but it doesnt fit the picture thats coming up (in slow motion).

Can you please recommend a software to convert the file into a xvid mpeg-4 part 2?? i';ve tried many converters but the always seem to spit out the same error stating that they do not support the format when it is .mp4 and they do convert it..

Try using avicodec or g-spot 2.52beta to get better information.

try SUPER for conversion

i posted the info i got with gspot in my first post,and this is what i got with the other tool u recommended:

File : 699 MB (699 MB), duration: 1:25:00, type: DSH, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 66 %

Video : 232 MB, 382 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 608*336 (16:9), YV12 = Unknown, Supported

Audio : 466 MB, 768 Kbps, 24000 Hz, 2 channels, 0xFF = Unknown, Unsupported


also under 'V. codec name' and 'A.1 codec name' it says unknown

MP4Cam2AVI might help you convert it ...

MP4Cam2AVI might help you convert it ...

tried it but it doesn't convert to the size i specify, it ended up being more(800mb) then the original file which was 700mb.. i think the only thing i can do is look for an program to help me minimize its size.. i'll give that super program a go next..

Are you sure the codec pack you mentioned in the first post isn't interfering with the software Baldrick and the others suggested to use?

Also, the MP4 format does tend to have slightly better compression than, say, the same movie compressed as an AVI with DivX/Xvid, if I remember correctly, so seeing an AVI that's larger than the source MP4 may well be common.

i tried converting it to mpg and other formats but it all ended up being in slow motion and the music playing fine. I just guess thats how the video really is, and i didn't expect it...

thanks for the help everyone and suggesting those programs it's helped me alot and also that super program is great never seen anything like it !
