Posted in Page 1 of 7 1 hey hey all you knowledgable know-ers of information. I am wondering if someone can tell me about the WMV3 codec and how to get it for VLC or quicktime on a mac running OS 10.3.3. I have this film I REALLY wanna watch, but when I try and play it, all I get is the audio. Then this mesage comes up that says “main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.' Any ideas of what I can do or another application I try and get this thing going through?
I would really appreaciate hearing back. Thanks ever so very very much! Dervla of the deep blue. Feedback Although WMP does play back WMV3 encoded content in its own WMV container, it does not accept the same thing in AVI container, which is about 99% of them out there. In other words, WMP is useless for us. So for now your solution would be to re-encode WMV3 AVIs with Virtualdub on Windows. WMV3 has a weird framerate of 119.880.
You must go to VIDEOFRAME RATE. Or press CTRL-R, got to FRAMERATE CONVERSION and under CONVERT TO FPS, key in 23.976. Try to apply at least one filter to improve the picture. I’d suggest Warp Sharp. Use this moderately. To best preserve the video quality already loss to WMV3 compression, you should use Xvid codec. Go to VIDEOCOMPRESSION, choose XVID MPEG-4, click CONFIGURE, set TARGET QUANTIZER to either 3 or 2.
2 yields better quality but larger file. But if quality is a big concern, you can’t afford to scrimp.
Check to see that your VIDEO is set to FULL PROCESSING MODE and your AUDIO is set to DIRECT STREAM COPY. With everything in place, do a FILESAVE AS. Feedback Hi there Windows media 9, does not work?
I’ve got it and tried different possibilities to play a WMV3 movie. It is a real pain in the butt. I tried the latest VLC o.8.1, RealPlayer Windows Media 9 for OSX 10.2 &.3 Even loaded 3ivx D4 hoping that it could scramble by chance. If you read messages on different boards. You will find the same thing It does not work. What ever the last person said about successfully playing WMV3, he could be mistaken.
I’m not say they are a liar, only just that the movie they played isn’t WMV3.
