Please note if you are upgrading the codec from the 0.63.0 version, please uninstall LAV Filters via Add/Remove Programs (Control Panel) BEFORE installing ‘ LAV Filters 0.74.1‘.

LEFT CLICK on the GoPro / iPhone Logo, save the file ‘ LAV Filters 0.74.1‘.

The LAV Filter codec (0.74.1) will enable the following videos using ‘ avc1/H.264 codec‘ to play within the Quintic Software : for example GoPro (.MP4), IPhone (.MOV), (.MOD) With the ever increasing recording devices available on the market, so does the demand for codecs required for playing and compressing these videos. For further information please visit our Troubleshooting page.įigure 1 : Warning – Quintic is unable to play this video. If a video codec has not been installed when a video is loaded into Quintic’s main or best screen an information box (Figure 1) will pop up directing you to this page on our website where a range of codecs can be downloaded below. Ii) Missing codecs and video-file issues : A common problem when a user wants to watch a video stream encoded with a specific codec is that, if the exact codec is not present and properly installed on the user’s machine, the video won’t play (or won’t play optimally). Some of the video codecs that Quintic currently uses are MPEG-4 Part 2, DivX, Xvid, FFmpeg MPEG-4 and 3ivx. In the end it seems unlikely that one codec will replace them all. It is therefore possible for multiple codecs to be available in the same product, avoiding the need to choose a single dominant codec for compatibility reasons. I) Commonly used standards and Codecs : A variety of codecs can be implemented with relative ease on computers and in consumer electronics equipment. If a video file has been compressed with a particular codec then that codec has to be available for decompression to enable its use. The many types of video codec have differing performance as there is a complex balance between the video quality, the quantity of the data needed to represent it (also known as the bit rate), the complexity of the encoding and decoding algorithms, robustness to data losses and errors, ease of editing, random access, the state of the art of compression algorithm design, end-to-end delay, and other factors.

They are used with QuinticSoftware to reduce the size of the video file to benefit storage and transmission. A video codec is a device or software that enables video compression and/or decompression of digital video.
