Got a question for everyone here.

What are the video and audio formats you use most, inside your movie-container files?

DivX/Xvid? Mpeg-2? Mpeg-4? Uncompressed video?

What about audio? PCM? Mp3? AAC? Ogg Vorbis?

Asking this, so I know which decompression filters to begin implementing first. (surely the code is out there; if not, I'll write some from scratch wink.gif)

If only everybody just edited uncompressed audio and video, there'd be no need tongue.gif

Thank you.


Chad

Cyberman, NuPogodi, Tommy Carrot

Thanks for the replies. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not an expert on codecs, and most everybody here seems to know what's what inside out.

I've tried x264, DivX 3.11 alpha, DivX 5.2.1 and XviD briefly now... and am discovering things.

Seems the DivX codecs edit just fine in a VFW editor. Huffyuv 2.1.1. opens, and tries to play... x264 doesn't seem to want to play, even in WMP 6.4. That's not my curiosity, however...

What I'm interested in is: How are you using the codec?

Capture? Intermediate? Or as a final format? Is there a place that lists the more popular formats and whether they are primarily capture, intermediate, or final formats?

(realizing this has now evolved into a "codec" discussion... which it kinda-sorta was anyway biggrin.gif)

Thanks for any replies. I'm here to learn as well as help.

I think most of the codecs mentioned here are used as final format (x264, VP7, DivX, etc.)

For capturing i think most people will use MJPEG or huffy.

For intermediate most people will use MJPEG or huffyuv as well, but a lot of people use AVIsynth for filtering which makes the need of an intermediate format smaller.

What StephanV said.
For editing either uncompressed(if small) or Huffyuv. Audio I rarely compress before the final file.
