I copy movies from my phone and camera to my computer and have |
2 |
troubles playing them. |
3 |
|
4 |
The camera produces .mov files which file says are Apple QuickTime |
5 |
movie (unoptimized). |
6 |
|
7 |
The phone produces .3gp movies which file says are ISO Media, MPEG v4 |
8 |
system, 3GPP. |
9 |
|
10 |
I also download youtube .flv movies which file says are mostly MPEG v4 |
11 |
system, version 2, but once in a while are Macromedia Flash Video. |
12 |
|
13 |
And people send me movies, or links to them, all sorts of types. |
14 |
|
15 |
Sometimes vlc plays some better than mplayer, sometimes the reverse, |
16 |
sometimes neither will play them, and sometimes, like most right now, |
17 |
vlc plays audio but no video, while mplayer plays the video slowly, |
18 |
perhaps 5 times as slow, maybe ten ... I don't always have the |
19 |
patience to wait for its slow motion. If I use the left and right |
20 |
arrows in mplayer, the sound syncs back up, but the video is still |
21 |
much slower and quickly falls behind again. |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
|
25 |
The mplayer slow video is the most frustrating part. I like mplayer |
26 |
better than vlc, usually, but the slowness is really frustrating and |
27 |
it doesn't recognize half the keys it used to, such as [] to speed it |
28 |
up and slow it down. I was hoping to see if that would get the video |
29 |
speed back closer to the sound. |
30 |
|
31 |
|
32 |
I sent some phone .3gp movies to a friend with Windows. Won't play. |
33 |
Is there a decent way to convert them to something he can play? |
