G2M5 codec (GoToMeeting)

Postby ggn1967 » 28 Oct 2014 23:00

Good day.

Recently appeared a new video-codec G2M5, you can see example and setup here. Experiments have shown that the codec G2M5 provides good video quality and small bitrate.

Unfortunately, VLC player does not support this codec.

It would be good to add support for playback G2M5, and support for playback old version G2M3.

This is interesting...

For the experiment, I opened the video "G2M5 - example.wmv" in the hex editor (WinHex).

Then find the value 47324d35 (G2M5) and replaced to hex value 47324d34 (G2M4).
Was made 582 changes.
Then save into the file "G2M5 - example - hex G2M5 replace to G2M4.wmv"

Now, the video "G2M5 - example - hex G2M5 replace to G2M4.wmv" plays normally with VLC media player 2.1.3 :)

You are absolutely right. It worked for me. I was able to replaced G2M5 to G2M4 using HxD (https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/) and renamed to WMV. It placed in VLC :)
