I'm uploading a 25-sec file called uvs050419-002-5.AVI. Like the previous file this one is:
* Video Compression is DV Video Encoder - Type 1 (also have some Type 2)
* Video Attributes are 720x576 Pal, 24Bit (Anamorphic - 16:9 Display, 4:3 Actual)
* Audio Compression is DV Audio-PAL
* Audio Attributes are 2ch, 16 bit 48khz
I'll try the nightly builds and report back.
Thanks
Nathan
FYI from Wikipedia on Type 1 / Type 2
Type 1 and Type 2 DV AVI files
There are two types of DV-AVI files:
Type 1: The multiplexed Audio-Video is kept in its original multiplexing and saved together into the Video section of the AVI file
Does not waste much space (audio is saved uncompressed, but even uncompressed audio is tiny compared to the video part of DV), but Windows applications based on the VfW API does not support it.
Type 2: Like type 1, but audio is also saved as an additional audio stream into the file.
Supported by VfW applications, at the price of little increased file size.
Type 1 is actually the newer of the two types. Microsoft made the "type" designations, and decided to name their older VfW-compatible version "Type 2", which only furthered confusion about the two types. In the late 1990s through early 2000s, most professional-level DV software, including non-linear editing programs, only supported Type 1. One notable exception was Adobe Premiere, which only supported Type 2. High-end FireWire controllers usually captured to Type 1 only, while "consumer" level controllers usually captured to Type 2 only. Software is and was available for converting Type 1 AVIs to Type 2, and vice-versa, but this is a time-consuming process.
