I got a few video files recorded on the XDA2 but how to edit them using software like Adobe Premier? Can't seem to open them on the PC?
get a IMSA MP4 compliant filter for Premiere...
or, open it in Apple Quicktime and export to other video formats, like AVI.
and edit from there.
I've been using my JAM for some time to watch video clips and DVD's that I have ripped. I was wondering what programs everyone else is using to convert their file and what quality you are using.

hi,
how do i convert videos taken with the blackstone?
i setup mpeg4 but neither windows movie thing editor nor virtualdub can handle the file.
but i can play it with mpc without any problems.
linux...at least i see the video
i like to convert it to some moviemaker compatible format so i can quick edit some files to one video with effects in between.
thx!
Blackstone videos are already highly compressed as it is, so recoding them only to be able to use them in movie maker would give you awful videos. your best bet is avisynth - a frameserving application which basically feeds uncompressed stream from original video to the editing application. The idea is this, you create a text file which contains a link to the input file, save it with an .avs extension and then open that with an editing application. The avs file could be as simple as this:
DirectShowSource("c:\VIDEO0001.mp4")
I tried it now, and it works. You need to download avisynth and install it. Unforunately, i don't remember which apps open .avs files.
sorry i don't get it...
it's not about compression in detail.
i mean i do not want to compress or decompress the files.
i can not use it with moviemaker cause i just hear the sound and the picture is black.
so i thought i convert it to a format moviemaker can handle as it seems htc is saving it in some format that can not be used.
which i think is strange but...what do i know...
i which i could do all that with my jaunty
Well, here's the deal - every time you edit a video and save it, you are recompressing it, meaning you're getting a degraded picture quality. If you are only cutting out portions of video, then you can save it without recompression, meaning you get the same quality as the original file. The moment you add effects to the video (transitions, resizing, etc...), you have to reencode video - and get lower quality. Now, that may not be a big deal when your input files are high resolution videos, but when the input file is a heavily compressed ile, such as those made with Blackstone, it will definitely show.
Movie maker can't open mp4 files. The way i see it, if you really want to edit the files, your best bet is to download Super, a freware app which uses AviSynth as a part of it's encoding process, then output the files from blackstone as avi files in HuffYuv codec (lossless compression codec), open it in Windows Movie Maker, edit it and then save it. Note that Windows Movie Maker doesn't output to mp4, only wmv.
As far as getting only the sound an no video - deinstall all codecs or codec packs from your system and install ffdshow.
Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a way to extract frames from a video for my Android App... The only things I found were related to the Java Media Framework, which I did not succeed to use since Eclipse doesn't seem to recognize the packages even though I've installed JMF on my computer.
What I need is to be able to get a video that is located on the SSD card of the phone (The video is recorded from the phone) and be able to separate all the frames of it, so I can make some processing out of it... Is there any other way than the JMF library? Or maybe can someone help me get JMF to work?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help at all!
You wont be able to do this from the phone. Transfer the video to the computer, then use a video editing program to save frames. You will probably have to save each frame individually, unless you can find software to do it automatically.
I really hope you do figure out how to do this, especially if you're doing it to make any sort of video editing app. And if you're making a video editor please put a rotate video option. I always film in portrait mode then realize unlike the camera there's no rotate.
What is the best software to convert the kin .mp4 video to .avi? i tried a couple free programs with no luck.I want to be able to open it up in sony vegas to edit,but it doesnt except .mp4 files.
I would use iSlySoft Video Converter. You can convert one format to many other formats using that program.
thanks,ill look into it
