XnView Software

This one's been annoying me for ages too. As far as I can tell, XNView isn't treating the MP4 extension as a video file, possibly because it's also used as an audio extension. Even adding it to a custom group and telling XNv to display thumbs on that group doesn't work, which is another reason I ...

No problem.

That's why I don't trust codec packs. With the mixture of their installing so many utilities and all the other things that people have on their PCs, you end up many possible routes that can be taken to play a file. Then when something doesn't work because a preferred route causes a ...

Some MKV files are AVC yes, but MKV is just the container, and as such it can actually contain any number of differently encoded video and audio streams, so some will be AVC, but others may be something different. In each case you need to check with MediaInfo.

XNView's gonna need two components to ...

I'm not sure about codec packs, personally I wouldn't use them.

The way I'd get this to work is with FFDshow. Your codec pack may already have installed this, but if not here's the link:

- From the ffdshow entry in your Start menu choose the Video ...

MP4 may just be the container format, rather than the actual video codec.

Do you have either G-Spot or MediaInfo installed so you can check the codec details? If not install MediaInfo (more up-to-date than G-Spot) from the below. It's freeware.

In the example ...

Does it make a difference if you rename the file extension to another video container format like .mpg and then rebuild the thumbnail?

If so that's the same issue as my thread here:

Unless I'm missing something, XNView appears to treat .MP4 ...

Hi,

I was having problems getting MP4 video files in the browser to open with my media player. They were opening fine by using F3, but wouldn't do it with a double-click. I eventually found that changing the "Open Action (Browser)" for Audio files to "Open with Associated Program" resolves the ...

Fixed for me in 1.95.2....

Tested here with the 1.95.1 version downloaded from Betanews.

It's was a lot quicker than 1.95, but still significantly slower than 1.94.2.

Returned to 1.94.2 for now.

OK, after a lot of testing, it seems that in nearly all the cases I had, the crashes would only occur when processing a large amount of files. When I isolate the files that the program seems to get stuck on, they process just fine.

I'm going to send one file that I haven't managed to work out. This ...

I'll try and find one that's small enough to upload. The one's I've looked at so far either turned out to be MPEG1 or were OK once I isolated them in their own folder (the original crashes happened when processing large amounts of files at once).

There's one that produces a corrupt image, but that ...

You're right... looking at the clips using G-Spot codec identifier, it seems the following types are affected:

MPEG1
MP43

and possibly WMV1, although I can only see one example.

The following codec always produces a thumbnail of a green screen as if it can't be read, even though I can play it ...

Sorry, the post above is me.. I didn't realised I wasn't logged in

Do you think there is a way to maybe have a setting where you can specify "extract video thumbnail at x seconds / at x percent of video duration" ?

Ok, i'll add it

Hi,

Was this feature added in 1.91.6? If so, where can I find the config?

It would be nice to able to use the "Extract Movie ...
