Convert .cam into .avi

[lAvAzzA]

Hi,

First would like to thank for Amsn, nice stuff.

I've searched and all i've find was under Linux.
I don't know shit in code so I've understand nothing except there is none for XP.

So my question is simple: How could we (noobs like me) convert .cam into .avi or other but allowing us to use it in video edition?

Thank you

best regards

Welcome!

This is only for linux:

I don't think there's something to do it on windows. Or look at ffmpeg for windows.

thanks Billiob

that what i was afraid of.

But is there a way to isolate the player out from Amsn ?
Because if we can play the file later then there is player with the right codec working with XP

Hi,
indeed, it's only for linux but you have another option : http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=944&highlight=ml20
It's a sticky thread in the announcement forum...
About the codec thingy, no, aMSN doesn't use the windows API to play the video, we use our own code to decode it.. yes, there is a codec, but it's only part of aMSN (needed to encode/decode webcam during a call), and the viewer just works the same way as when you are receiving the cam from someone over the net... the codec is not installed on the system and doesn't follow the win32 API for automatic detection by normal players (It's a Tcl extension).
Hope that helps.

thanks

yeah it may help
i will give a try and let know if it works.

anyway there still is camstudio, but not very good you move windows and apps at the same time.

So i won't have nice strip to share!! What a shame. (joke)

ml20 recorder should work thought, people use it and it works for them!
