I installed this yesterday. Have tried to convert some sessions into xvid.
I have one problem with the conversion, it only play at half the speed, so I have a session that is 5min when plyaed in amsn, when converted it it 10min.
When I play the session in mimicdecoder thay also play at half the speed. But they dont do it in amsn.
I am using Unbuntu
What can be wrong ?

well, it depends on the timestamp or on whether amsn is using a fixed framerate or uses dynamic framerate... if you don't use dynamic framerate in amsn, then it might be slower/faster depending on how you set the framerate...

To get it to playback perfect in amsn I use dynamic framerate,
When I convert I just choose the session and the click convert to XVID och then decode.

i'm having a problem decoding one of the sessions i recorded. Mimicdecoder produces: mimic2rgb: Couldn't initialize the mimic decoder.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/vic/z/usr/bin/mimicdecoder", line 124, in run
stdin_pipe.write(block)
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
And running mimic2rb by itself mimic2rgb: Couldn't initialize the mimic decoder. However, when in aMSN, i can view this session. It does exhibit artifacts for first 3-4 seconds (corrupted video?). I hacked some code in mimic2rgb to skip over bad frames but apparently that's not enough...needs expert touch  Can somebody fix this or any ideas on how i can salvage this session and convert it into something viewable by regular media players (raw or xvid)?? |

it appears that the beggining of the stream is missing the key or initial frame. consquent frames get their info from it.
after the hacking i did, the first 5-6 frames exhibit strong artifacts (much more so than previewing in aMSN), and after that the stream is ok, HOWEVER the colors r not right -- too washed out - perhaps saturation or balance or something is off (Colors r ok in aMSN preview).
Any ideas?

I'm a mac user and I don't really understand how this all works.
I have installed Ubuntu on my mac (using VirtualBox) (latest version as of 29th of May 2009) and it's running perfectly fine. I have downloaded the following files:
Libmimic 1.0.4.
mimictools1.0.1.deb
I have run the installer, but now I'm unable to find how I run the Mimicdecoder application???
Please someone make an easy to understand guide on how to use this.

I've never tried it, but my guess would be to open a terminal and type "mimicdecoder" then press enter.. and you'll get the GUI you need for your conversions...
