Does anyone know how convert DVR-MS to Quicktime on a macPosted by Andy Field
We just received a disk of this pain in the behind format -- DVR-MS -- it's some Windows Media Center only format - I've searched high and low on the web and there doesn't seem to be a way to convert it to QuickTime editable format short of finding a PC to do it....any ideas? I've tried VLC (it will play it it but no luck converting with it yet)
Thanks Andy
I just looked at the Wiki and nearly the whole thing is about how to get it out of the stupid original format. What a pain it sounds like - won;t even play on other flavours of Windows. They do mention VLC - but do you have ffmpeg installed too? I think sometimes VLC needs this to do certain kinds of transcoding. Or maybe that was Mpeg Streamclip..
How did they shoot it? Is this selects or something? This had to be recorded off a screen, no? I thought it was some kind of screen capture thing..
"VR-MS (Microsoft Digital Video Recording) is a proprietary video and audio file container format, developed by Microsoft used for storing TV content recorded by Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Vista and Windows 7. "
well it was an engineering firm - talk about convoluted -- originally shot for National Geographic on HDCAM -- then dubbed for them on to HDV - ingested into their PC via microsoft's media center -- but good news - they're shipping us the HDV tapes - problem solved -- Thanks for your advice
