Winamp NSV file
« on: July 10, 2006, 07:26:59 am »
Hello... Is there anyway to play NSV files? If not, is this something that can be added?


Thanks

Sorry....

NSV is a winamp video file... Apparently you can encode TV into NSV and watch them back later.
I was given a TV show that was in NSV and had to install winamp.

I googled that, and found this:

FFMPEG should work for NSV

Does this mean anything to you? This isn't an area I know about..   :-[

It means we'd probably already work if we added the NSV extension to our DirectShow list.

I'll ping Yaobing.

I added the extension even though I have not verified that it can be played  ;)

I have neither a sample file nor FFMPEG filter (the link you provided led to a dead end as far as a release build is concerned).

If someone has found a working filter, please let me know and go ahead and try it.

Cool, I'll test it when the build is out.. I should be able to find the filter easy enough.

Thanks,

I got the codec here:   http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/

I am not smart enough to figure this out... I thought I would be able to install like any program and run it in MC... I read about wrappers, and compiling...
If someone wants to check it out, cool.... If not, I'll just make sure I don't get any of these files.../.           :P

the best I could.... I installed Klite codec pack and the 3ivx splitter.

I just can't find a installer that will propperly install the ffmpeg codec. I just have a folder with a bunch of files...

Not really sure were to go from here

FFDSHOW uses (and contains) the libavcodec which is part of the FFMPEG project.  I have no idea if this will include the splitter filters you need to be able to play back the NSV files.

From everything I can see, that appears to be a dying format (Matroska can do everything it could do, better, and unencumbered by problematic licenses).  It also looks a bit like it is intentionally difficult to deal with (security through obscurity and all that). 

If you have any NSV files, and you can't find a DirectShow filter that works, I'd probably recommend you work on converting them to a less troubled format (though that too might be difficult without the filters).

Na, it's not worth the hassell, It was just a TV show... I didn't think it would be that difficult. I never new that there could be that many different video codecs.
I use mainly audio, so this is a relm that I never really paid attention to.

Thanks anyway
