Codec Id "isom" // Kodak videos
Hey all,
Apperently there's a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro which makes it difficult to edit videos that were captured in a Kodak camera. I've been trying to convert these files (.mov) to many other formats and codecs and with no success. After a while I got to find a software that claims to specialize in converting Kodak's video files (iOrgSoft Video Converter). Between many tries of various softwares that was the only one that did it right. But the software isn't free. The trail version leaves a watermark on the each video. So I thought, what can this software do that I can't? I got the following details out of a video that was converted successfuly via iOrgSoft Video Converter: Code:
General: -------------- Format: MPEG-4 Format profile: Base Media Codec ID: isom Overall bit rate: 10.7 Mbps Writing application: Lavf52.71.0 -------------- Video: -------------- Format: AVC Format profile: Baseline@L3.1 / No CABAC / ReFrames: 1 frame. Codec ID: avc1 Bit rate mode: Variable Bit rate: 10.6 Mbps ... Code:
Codec ID: isom Does anyone have any idea about this? Thanks alot, Moshe. P.S. It's my first time here so I hope I wrote it down right |

Also, I recommend you not resort to random crapware out there that require payment when all they actually do is use free/open-source encoders underneath their interfaces (e.g. lavf in the case of the converter you named). There are far better, and completely free, programs out there. If you find your Kodak files can't be read by whatever free encoder you're using, post and ask why it doesn't work rather than using shady adware. |

The reason I tried to use that crappy software is because it did the job.
Obviously all it really did was using the right configurations, and that's what I'm trying to learn from the output file. Yet I trust you know better than I do, so here's the input file details: Code:
General Complete name : D:\HasaQue Videos\100_0313.MOV Format : QuickTime Format/Info : Original Apple specifications File size : 28.1 MiB Duration : 16s 576ms Overall bit rate : 14.2 Mbps Movie name/More : EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY KODAK EASYSHARE Z950 DIGITAL CAMERA Encoded date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 Tagged date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 Origin : Digital Camera Video ID : 1 Format : MPEG-4 Visual Format profile : AdvancedSimple@L3 Format settings, BVOP : Yes Format settings, QPel : No Format settings, GMC : No warppoints Format settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) Codec ID : 20 Duration : 16s 575ms Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 14.1 Mbps Width : 1 280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 30.045 fps Minimum frame rate : 30.000 fps Maximum frame rate : 31.579 fps Resolution : 24 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.508 Stream size : 27.8 MiB (99%) Encoded date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 Tagged date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 Audio ID : 2 Format : ADPCM Format profile : U-Law Codec ID : ulaw Duration : 16s 576ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 128 Kbps Channel(s) : 1 channel Sampling rate : 16.0 KHz Resolution : 16 bits Stream size : 259 KiB (1%) Encoded date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 Tagged date : UTC 2010-07-22 22:36:20 |

I also own a kodak camera and I did once the mistake of filming. The movies could only be read (correctly) by the Quicktime Pro (payware). Since then I never used a device in improper ways (if it's a camera then it should be used for photos. end of story).

Another question is what format you want to convert to for import into Premiere. It should preserve high quality while not being too hard to work with. I'm not really sure what to recommend for this. If you converted to H.264/AVC, Premiere might not handle it well (because of its slow inbuilt H.264 decoder). The format that your crapware converter put out was H.264 in Baseline profile, so you can just do similar in the free converters I listed. In fact, try using Handbrake with the default video settings and see how that works out. Ideally you would import the original video itself into Premiere, since it's relatively easier to decode than H.264 (which those programs encode). This would also preserve full quality. |
