File.AVI not supported by my TV

Hello,

I made videos with my camera (Fujifilm).
I transferred these videos to the computer.
I transferred these videos (in .AVI format) to a USB stick.
I plugged this USB stick (which also contains 2 movies in .avi) into my TV to watch them.
The movies play fine, but the files from the camera do not play. A message on the screen indicates: "unsupported file".
Could you please help me with this problem?

Thank you.

Hello,

It is probably a codec problem.

Compare the codecs of your playable files with those that are unplayable and convert the latter with the same codecs as the former. To do this, you can use MediaInfo (portable version preferred) for example.

Best regards

And assuming he knows what a codec is :)

It's not false --> definition of codec on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec

Thank you very much,

Is there a way to immediately see if the codecs are different? By checking the properties? And what is the term that corresponds to this codec? I haven't seen the word codec in the properties of any files.

Thank you.

In Windows, file properties do not provide this information. It is necessary to use third-party software to find out.

In MediaInfo, this refers to the concept of stream:

With VLC --> Tools --> Codec Information, it is referred to as codec:

In your case, the AVI video container can have, for example, the XviD codec, the DivX, the DV (Digital Video), but it can also be something else.... so check the codec of the files that play and convert the unplayable videos if necessary.

It is also possible that it is a resolution issue, but I don't think that is the case on a TV unless the files coming from the camera are in UHD (4K) or other image dimensions not supported by the television.

Thank you again Ziggourat,

I installed MediaInfo, and here’s what it shows:

The file that works:
video codec: xvid
audio codec: MPEG audio (MP3)

The file that doesn’t work:
video codec: JPEG
audio codec: PCM

The codecs are indeed different. You were right.
Can you tell me what I should do now? I suppose I need to convert the JPEG files into xvid files. But is that possible, and with what software?

Thank you for your reply.

In fact, the indicated JPEG is, I think, the M-JPEG codec: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion-JPEG
This codec is sometimes used by certain digital cameras.

Any conversion software (XMedia Recode or Format Factory, even though I don't like the latter for example) should, I think, be able to convert this codec to XviD.
You will also need to convert the audio to MP3, it will be better in my opinion.

If the video output from the conversion doesn't satisfy you, then increase the bitrate parameter or video bitrate expressed in Kbps or Mbps, as that of MJPEG is quite high compared to XviD.

Hi,

What browser are you using?
Have you tried refreshing your page?

I'm not an expert, but this has happened to me a few times.
By switching discussions and then rewriting my message on the correct topic, it usually goes back to normal.

Otherwise, maybe try clearing the cache: https://www.malekal.com/vider-cache-windows-10/#Cache_des_Navigateurs_WEB

If the problem persists, I would open a discussion for you in the CCMiste Office so that someone more knowledgeable can help you since I'm leaving CCM for now.
