Codec for old Matrox MJpeg hardware compression? |
|
|
Hi there,
I had a Matrox Millenium 2 video capture card from wayyy back in the
90's. This was a card that captured and compressed video into it's MJpeg
coded, and it was hardware based, as opposed to software, so the card
was needed to view or use the files.
I am told that there is now a software codec available that will enable
to use my (old) clips as normal. Is this so? Can someone help point me
in the right direction to get this?
Thanks!

See:

I've used their MJPEG codec on (hardware-encoded) Miro DC20 mjpeg files. Should
work with yours as well.

Several years ago I had an old Rainbow Runner card with the Matrox hardware
MJPEG and when I replaced it, the PICVideo software codec I installed read
my old files fine. And you can try it out free and see if it works for you
before you buy it.

If memory serves me correctly, VirtualDub will decode MJPEG even when
there is no codec present, although you may have to mess around with
the FourCC codes. You could use this to reencode to another format.

I never found any codec which could handle many of the MJPEG files I
had lying around, apparently because they were cropped at the edges
(trying to save disk space by removing the pixels you'd never see on a
TV) so the width wasn't a multiple of 16... I could read some other
MJPEG files where the width was a multiple of 16, but the cropped ones
all came out skewed horizotnally.
