Looking for a codec to decode HD Visio TV on Badr 3, Luxe TV HD on the same transponder is fine with CoreAVC Professional.

Cheers

What's different about Visio TV? Anything discernable?

remlap · 29-03-07, 11:44 PM

It will not decode the video what so ever..

Try Xvid if you haven't already - it does MPEG4 part 2.

Don't think that's right mate I think its AVC not MPEG-4

Stv · 31-03-07, 02:02 PM

AVC is part of the MPEG4 standard suite... part 10. The codec outside of MPEG4 is known as H.264.

Part 2 was ASP - another video codec which can be used within MPEG4 compliant content. Thus why I recommended trying the XVid codec.

Another possibility is that CoreAVC doesn't implement the necessary AVC profile. There isn't much you can do about that but try another implementation I guess.*

Lyngsat says that visio is MPEG4 too so surely Xvid is worth a look - you won't be any worse off than you are already.

Mate tried XviD its not XviD

Some things there to be viewed and ive done it, and I thought BBC HD was a resource whore "back in the day"

I decided why not try my old copy of DVBViewer GE since I had purchased it some time ago and downloaded the newest version of the viewer, CoreAVC automatically started to show atleast some video but very very laggy.

They must be encoding their video at incredibly high bit-rates for H.264 and DVB-S.

Later today I might actually go view the channel on my Humax HDCI-2000 if I get bored.

Here's some screen-shots the actual video is no longer than 2 minutes long, I believe its for a shop in Cyprus, I have emailed them saying ive received thier channel.

These are pretty much loss less PNG's so beware if on 56k.

Cool, I don't know about your experiences with BBC HD but it seems to vary a lot for me - some things run fine and then others seem like they are 10-15fps, despite being only at about 35% on both CPUs.

Glad to hear you got it going
