codec information gone??

Post by garnz »

I don't know what happened.
I used to search "avi" and it would say "raw" or "dib" or "xvid" in the format column....
Now its just a string of numbers.

I don't know what I broke.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please give a sample of the format you see?
-Right click the value and click Copy Video Format.

Are you indexing video format?
-If so, please try selecting a file and pressing Ctrl + F5 to refresh indexed values.

Seems that some video codecs return numbers rather then words for "Codec ID:" field.
And note that a container "format" may be different from a video format.

[0]6[0]4 is codec: 0x00360034

Please send your Help -> Troubleshooting information.



Please try adding the system.video.compression property:
Right click the result list column header and click Add column...
Select Windows Property System on the left.
Search for: compression
Select system.video.compression and click OK.
Is this a {????????-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} value for most of your avi files?
The video format value in Everything is pulled from this FourCC GUID: {????????-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}
where ???????? is the FourCC value in hex.



Do you have a media player that reports MediaInfo?
What is the video Codec ID from MediaInfo?

I will improve codec formatting to match MediaInfo in the next update.

edit: Everything 1.5.0.1386a adds 0x00360034 formatting to unknown video codecs.
