![]() ![]() I've been messing with FFMPEG on and off since I started this thread, and thanks for the advice so far. But it might be worth figuring out how to get libx264 working for you. ![]() There's also the profile (baseline, main, high, for BP/MP/HP), which can be specified with for example "-profile main" in the command. There are AVC levels under 3.0 but I've never seen anything that supported AVC at all (that is, below level 3) without supporting level 3. But it might be worth figuring out how to get libx264 working for you. I forgot for a second that this is just home construction footage. If video quality is not a big concern you could crank it up significantly. Generally the file size for a given quality will be a lot higher than what's achievable with libx264, which is in turn worse than the current generation. I think it's likely that TVs might not like seeing AVC in an AVI.īy the way, the libxvid quality/size tuning option in the command there was the number in "-qscale:v 2" (change the 2 to something higher, like 10). (Though WMP12 plays it in an MKV container just fine for me.) There's also. You can try another container like specifying. Even without specifying anything special for profile or level, if I generate an MP4 with AVC video, it plays in WMP12 for me just fine. I'm not sure what's causing the compatibility issue. On second thought, for greater compatibility you might add a "-level 3.1" in the command like And anybody's Android/iOS phone or tablet will handle them. that will play these files on a computer. There are plenty of free alternatives like VLC, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, PotPlayer, etc. It at least in the past had kind of a reputation for lack of compatibility with different formats, though Wikipedia is telling me that WMP12 since 2009 should have support for that. Windows Media Player is really behind the times and it's kind of roundly disparaged. It's pretty ubiquitous on the internet now, though YouTube has been phasing it out for a couple years. I mean, AVC was first standardized in 2003, though it took a long while before everything really used it. The replacement for AVC was standardized three years ago, but that adoption has been slow, primarily as a result of licensing terms and issues. But AVC/AAC in an MP4 has been supported in all web browsers, mobile devices, TVs, computer software players, etc. If you're looking at equipment that is more than several years old, then I guess it might not support it. ![]()
