preferred video/audio formats
Here is a list of formats that I can generate from a webcam:<br><br>http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html<br><br>I am not a media guru and I have no interest in finding out things like why there is no support for mp4 or 3 in java (I guess MS own the standard but don't want to get into religious wars) can someone just tell me what the EUDICO preferences are.<br><br>And why does JMStudio play my video recordings with sound, but Elan gets the initializing... bug?<br><br>P<br>
Re: preferred video/audio formats
ELAN doesn't recommend a particular file format or encoding (anymore). In terms of cross platform compatibility mpeg-1 and mpeg-2 are probably the most suitable formats.
ELAN just passes the media file to the media framework. If you are working on Windows, the first framework that is tried is the Windows Media Player. If WMP cannot play the file, QuickTime is tried, followed by JMF. But this only works if error messages are generated by the player (and if they are handled correctly by ELAN, of course).
You can change the "default" player via Edit->Preferences->Edit Preferences and then the Platform/OS tab.
