codec Error
Hey guys, sorry for posting this message here if it doesn’t belong here, i just didn’t know where elso to post it…
i just got a clip from a potential client, and is some basic ovies that they want me to tweak, do some animations etx… but when i open is white, obvious codec missing, but never heard of this one; wheni open in quicktime (the file is an AVI) under format it says
720×480, millions, 16-bit integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 khz
what is ithis, thanks.

These pieces of info relate to the audio encoding. There is nothing mentioned about the video CODEC. Import the file into AE. In the Project Window, select the file and press one of the modifier keys, CTRL, ALT, CTRL. Sorry but I can’t recall the exact key combo. Once you’ve hit the jackpot, you’ll get some info on the four-character (not the foul word) code for the CODEC. That should give you a better idea.

There are Intel legacy CODECs are cross platform. But ver 5.0 isn’t one of those. The Indeo CODECs are now supported by Ligos. And Indeo CODECs were developed for CD-ROM and HD delivery of postage-sized videos. Definitely not ideal for broadcast work.

Indeo codecs were used in the mid-to-late 1990s for the purposes Roland mentioned. Definitely obsolete and not for broadcast.
