Problem with MJPEG movies

[Gus]

Hi

my Samsung C650 seems to have a bug, it wont play AVI files recorded on my Samsung Camera, even direct using USB or with PCSM. Its an MJPG format. However the same format from another camera plays fine. The error is not supported file format.
FFMPEG info for each file is:

This file plays OK:

The only difference i see is the bad file is "Video: mjpeg, yuvj422p"
and the good file is "Video: mjpeg, yuvj420p"

My question is this. Can i setup Mezzmo to ONLY transode MJPEG yuv422p ?

My server hardware is not that fast at all and so transcoding is totally off at the moment. The video clips only last 30secs - 2mins so no big hit on processing power i would think.

Sorry for the long post!

cheers

At this stage Mezzmo does not detect the difference between yuvj422p and yuvj420p we will be getting more information about these files in the future. For now you could remove the mjpeg from the device profile. This will force all mjpeg movies to be transcoded.
