Requirements for Playing Videos in DIAdem VIEW To be able to play a video you must install the codec with which the video file was coded. Additionally, the software used for video playback must support the format of the video file. Codecs Codecs are used for coding and decoding video signals. The coding, or encoding, usually includes a compression for reducing the data rate required for the transmission. The storage space required for storage in a file also decreases greatly. For the video playback the encoded video signals must be decoded with the same codec. Codecs with a higher compression rate usually require more computing power when encoding and playing videos. Earlier codecs use a process similar to the JPEG compression to compress each frame in the video separately from the other frames. Newer methods additionally consider the fact that the differences between successive frames are very small. This method is called interframe compression and combines key frames and delta frames in order to increase the compression of video files. Interframe compression is used especially for video streaming. Codecs without interframe compression, for example, the DV codec, are still important for video cutting and as an exchange format. In an interframe compression the key frame contains all information required to display this frame. The delta frame, however, requires data from other frames in order to display. All videos contain at least one key frame at the beginning. Additional key frames improve the continuity of the video but also increase the file size. The more key frames a video contains, the easier the positioning within the video is during playback. The encoded video signals that a codec generates are saved in a file. Codecs do not always have the same name as the file format they create. Therefore it is important to differentiate between codecs on the one hand and file formats or container formats on the other hand. You can save various video and audio tracks that were encoded with different codecs in one container format such as AVI. Container Formats In software technology, a file format that can contain different file formats is called a container. A container format only defines the type and structure of how to save the contents. Containers facilitate, for example, the storage of audio and video tracks in one file. Often the container formats AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, or MPEG-4, are used for videos. AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) is a container format for videos defined by Microsoft and derived from the RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) that was introduced for Windows 3.1. An AVI file can combine contents such as bitmaps, audio and video files, or RTF texts that were encoded with different methods. The content type is saved with a Four Character Code (FourCC). This four character long string in the header of the AVI file specifies which codec to use for decoding the data. Videos in DIAdem Since version 10 DIAdem VIEW can play videos. When playing videos in DIAdem VIEW, the main focus is on the synchronization of measurement data and video signals. To synchronize the time information of the various data sources, DIAdem must position the video to certain time points. This is the only way to synchronize the video display when you scroll with the cursor through the measurement data. Positioning the video is always easier when the codec National Instruments, NI, ni.com, LabVIEW, and DIAdem are trademarks of National Instruments Corporation.

If you reduce the distance between the key frames in the settings of the codec with interframe compression, you can improve video playback in DIAdem VIEW. The video wobbles less during playback and the wobbling starts later within the video. Codecs Tested with DIAdem Refer to the National Instruments KnowledgeBase under the search term DIAdem Codecs for a current list of codecs1 tested with DIAdem. Table 1. Preliminary List of Tested Codecs (from June 2006) Codec Name Origin Restriction / Comment 1 Intel Video 3.20 Win XP SP2 2 Intel Video YUV (uncompressed) Win XP SP2 3 Microsoft Video 1 Win XP SP2 4 Cinepak Codec by Radius Win XP SP2 5 DV-Codec Win XP SP2, Windows This DV-AVI format corresponds with standard DV camcorders. Movie Maker 2 6 DivX 6.2.2 www.divx.com (1), Generates the smallest files. 7 WMV9 MS Encoder Pack (2), With this codec you can save WMV9 compressed videos in AVI containers. 8 MS Mpeg4 V1 MS Encoder Pack (2) 9 MS Mpeg4 V2 MS Encoder Pack (2) Restriction 1: If the playback speed is unequal 1 at an unchanged frame rate, the video might wobble. The wobbling increases as the video proceeds. For example, the wobbling can start after 10 seconds, can increase after 20 seconds, and the display can stop after 40 seconds. Restriction 2: The same as restriction 1. However, the video wobbles less if the playback speed range is between 0.5 and 2.0. DIAdem Cannot Play a Video Error message: "Cannot load video file" If you cannot play a video in DIAdem, it is usually sufficient to open the video in the Windows Media Player. To install the required codec you activate Download codecs automatically in the menu Tools»Options»Player. If the Windows Media Player does not install the missing codec, you can use a special software, such as the free of charge GSpot (www.headbands.com/gspot) to read which codec you need to play your video file. A quick internet search usually provides the required codec. With the GSpot software you also can check which codecs are installed on the computer and which codec belongs to which Four Character Code (FourCC). Error message: "Codec does not support precise synchronization" DIAdem cannot play the video, because the information required for the positioning is missing. Encode the video file with a different codec. 1. To test the codecs the example video glass.avi supplied with DIAdem was encoded with the software VirtualDup 1.6.11 using the specified codecs, and then played in DIAdem VIEW.

    (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW

    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

    Game Audio Via Openal

    Game Audio via OpenAL Summary In the Graphics For Games module, you learnt how to use OpenGL to create complex graphical scenes, improving your programming skills along the way, and learning about data structures such as scene graphs. In this workshop, you'll see how to add sounds to your game worlds using the OpenAL sound library. New Concepts Sound in games, OpenAL, PCM audio, binary file formats, FourCC codes, WAV files, limited resource management Introduction Audio has played an important part in gaming almost as long as there have been games to play - even Pong back in 1972 had simple sound effects. We've moved a long way from then; the 80s brought dedicated audio hardware such as the Commodore 64's SID chip that could play 3 simultaneous syn- thesised sounds, and later the Amiga brought the ability to play audio samples to the home gaming market. In modern gaming hardware, we can expect to hear many simultaneous sounds and music tracks, often in surround sound. Game developers now employ dedicated sound engineers that will carefully adjust the sounds in each game release to create an immersive aural experience - making sure that each individual sound is uniquely identifiable and correctly equalised, and that every music track suits the situation they will be played in. At the heart of a game's audio experience is the code that plays back the game sounds, and cal- culates which speakers they should use - the sound system. Although we can't hope to compete with the complex sound systems of AAA games, we should still be able to make a robust, simple system for the addition of sound in our 3D games, and that's what this workshop will assist you in creating.

    Finding an Appropriate Codec -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws

    1 Adobe Premiere Technical Guides Finding an appropriate codec Codecs are compression/decompression algorithms that are crucial for producing digital video and audio. Some codecs are more appropriate for certain kinds of work than others. Which codecs are available to you when editing digital video in Adobe® Premiere® 6.0 depends on your system and capture card. This choice is further constrained by the Editing Mode you choose in Premiere’s Project Settings dialog box. For example, in Windows the video codecs you can choose in Project Settings will be different if you choose Video for Windows as your Editing Mode than if you choose Quicktime. When you export digital video, the available codecs are determined by the File Type you choose in the Export Movie Settings dialog box. You can evaluate codecs by their intended uses, compression methods, and how they handle different kinds of pictures or sound. Video for Windows and QuickTime software are used for a wide range of video-related tasks, such as video conferencing, so they include many codecs which are not appropriate for video editing. Codecs intended for purposes other than video editing are identified in this section so that you can avoid them. If your video card provides hardware compression and its software is properly installed, its codec will appear in the Compressor menu in the Video Settings panel of the Project Settings dialog box. You can also access the codec in the dialog box for your video-capture hardware, which you can open by clicking the Video button in the Capture Settings panel of the Project Settings dialog box.
  • Which Image Format

    Which Image Format

    CASE STUDY Which Image Format PNG PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, gray scale, and true color images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits. However, the format is not widely supported in common image programs. AVI AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave and is currently the most common file format for storing audio/video data on the PC. AVI’s are 8-bit per image plane. This file format conforms to the Microsoft Windows Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) specification, which makes it convenient for sharing the image sequence between computers. AVI files (which typically end in the .avi extension) require a specific player that supports. RAW A RAW image format contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. RAW literally means unprocessed or uncooked. RAW images must be processed and converted to RGB format if it is a color image. Photron however, does not limit RAW as a unprocessed image. The “Bayer” check box must be selected to save the RAW image as an unprocessed image. RAW images have 8-bits per image plane. RAWW A RAWW image format contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. RAWW images must be processed and converted to RGB format if it is a color image. Photron however, does not limit RAWW as a unprocessed image. The “Bayer” check box must be selected to save the RAWW image as an unprocessed image.

    Audio File Types for Preservation and Access

    AUDIO FILE TYPES FOR PRESERVATION AND ACCESS INTRODUCTION This resource guide identifies and compares audio file formats commonly used for preservation masters and access copies for both born digital and digitized materials. There are a wide range of audio file formats available, each with their own uses, considerations, and best practices. For more information about technical details see the glossary and additional resources linked at the end of this resource guide. For more information about audio files, view related items connected to this resource on the Sustainable Heritage Network in the “Audio Recordings” category. ​ ​ AUDIO FILE FORMATS FOR PRESERVATION MASTERS Lossless files (either uncompressed, or using lossless compression) are best used for preservation masters as they have the highest audio quality and fidelity, however, they produce the largest file sizes. Preservation Masters are generally not edited, or are minimally edited because their purpose is to serve as the most faithful copy of the original recording possible.
