  1. Hello all.

    I'm webmaster and my client asks me to insert a video format .rap

    Is there a converter for this video in a more common format ?

    Sorry for my english, It's not my native language

  2. My search for information on this file format was not successful.

    Any idea what application created it?

    Could you post a MediaInfo report on the file?

    I have never heard of it. I can't find any sign of .rap being associated with a video file format, anywhere in Google. (Magix may have used that suffix for support files, but not video files.)
    Have you seen this video file? Does it have the size you expect from a video file? Looking at the start of the file on a hex editor might reveal more.
    Is the client the type that could err on sending the wrong file and/or information?

    I'd try playing it with VLC. It plays most odd formats. Maybe someone just added a bogus .rap extension to the end of a .avi or other common file.

    Talk to your client and TELL him that, unless he is only adding this to the website with the express purpose of sharing with only close friends who also explicitly understand & use this odd format, it is extremely foolish to not use a modern standard (like AVC+AACinMP4, WebM).

    It's a .rar which is similar to a zip file.

    You need to extract it first to view the video.

    When I read this thread I knew that something fundamental was being missed.

    Try Extractnow to unpack it.

    i opened it with a hex editor and the .rap file doesn't have a header of any standard format i know of, it begins with hvscan203 but searching for that went nowhere.

    It is obviously a proprietary format that will only play with hardware/software provided by the camera manufacturer. You may have to point a conventional video camera at the display device to capture it.

    HVSCAN203. High volume scanner? High voltage scanner?
    26 KB decompressed seems small for a single image, let alone a video file. I'm still not convinced that you received the correct file.
