Video format conversion method of nonlinear editing system

At present, nonlinear editing systems are widely used, but due to the variety of material formats, the video formats output by different video processing software are not compatible, so video materials in various formats must be converted into materials that can be called by the nonlinear editing system.

1 Common video formats

(1) AVI format (AudioVideoInterleave):

Literal translation is audio and video interleaving, which is a video and audio format widely supported for multimedia and Windows applications. It was developed by Microsoft and was originally used in the Microsoft Video for Windows (VFW for short) environment. It is now Windows 95/98, NT, Most operating systems such as OS / 2 and MAC support. At present, the AVI file format is the most widely used in non-linear editing systems. However, because the AVI format video files in the non-linear editing system are mostly reduced by hardware (non-linear editing cards), ordinary AVI format files cannot be directly used in most cases. Called in a nonlinear editing system, AVI files generated by different nonlinear editing systems generally do not have compatibility.

(2) TGA file sequence (TargaSequence):

This is a bitmap file format developed by Truevision. A sequence of static pictures in TGA format can be regarded as a video file, and each file corresponds to each frame in the movie. These files are generally counted sequentially starting from sequence 01, such as A00001.TGA, A00002.TGA ..., most of the domestic non-linear The editing system can only recognize 24-bit TGA files, and 32-bit TGA files must be converted to 24-bit TGA files before they can be used.

(3) FLC / FLI file format:

The FLC / FLI file format is a color animation file format used in 2D / 3D animation production software such as 3DStudioR4, 3DStudioMAX, AutodeskAnimator, AnimatorPro, etc. produced by Autodesk, which is an 8bit animation file with a small size.

(4) MOV / QT file format:

The MOV / QT file format is a video file format introduced by Apple. It used to be used only in Apple ’s MACOS operating system. Later, it gradually developed to support Windows series platforms and can be played with QuickTIme players.

(5) RM file format:

This is a new streaming video file format developed by RealNetworks. This format has a small file size and is suitable for network publishing, so it has been rapidly promoted. It can achieve uninterrupted video playback under the condition of 56k MODEM dial-up Internet access. At present, most of the online live broadcasts that are rising in domestic TV stations use this format. A real-time RM video file stream can be generated by adding an RM real-time encoding board to the non-linear editing system. Files in this format can be played with RealPlay players.

(6) Other video file formats:

The MPEG / MPG / DAT file format is compressed with the MPEG-1 standard and is used in VCD video disc players. The image quality is generally difficult to meet the requirements of the non-linear editing system, and can only be used in situations where the image quality is not high. Non-linear editing system backup data generally adopts the following method: the video and audio data is made into a DVD disc, that is, the video and audio data is saved by MPEG-2 compression. A series of vob files can be seen on the DVD disc, and some vob files contain video information ( Some Vob files only contain menu information). Other formats such as GIF and ASF are rarely used in nonlinear editing systems.

2 Video format conversion method

The following describes the video format conversion method based on actual work experience. The Liugang cable TV station where the author is located has a new creative 2000 one-for-one non-linear editing system. The non-linear editing card is a DigisuiteLE card produced by Matrox, which uses M-JPEG compression. Due to the wide range of video material sources and various formats in our station Variety, you must often convert video files of various formats into AVI video files that can be used by the new creative 2000 editing box.

(1) Convert AVI files with different compression methods into AVI files that can be called by this nonlinear editing system.

The first method: use the Digitools toolbox provided by Matrox directly to convert other compressed AVI files into AVI files that can be called by this nonlinear editing system. This is commonly known as "plus card driver" for AVI files. Process, this method is simple and easy, and the quality of the generated video file image is good, but sometimes the conversion may not be successful.

The second method: Because Premiere 6.0 is compatible with more video formats, you can import AVI files into Premiere 6.0 to see if it can be played normally, if it can be played normally in the source window but not in the program window, or not Normal output in real time through the video output port, then use the Export command in Premiere 6.0 to output it as a standard AVI file format, and then use the Digitools toolbox to convert it to the native AVI file format of the new creative 2000 editing box This method may not always succeed.

The third method: input the AVI file into Premiere 6.0 to see whether it can be played normally in the source window (sometimes it can not be played normally and can also be converted), if it can be played normally, it will be output as a standard sequence of TGA files (only It can be a 24-bit TGA file). If the TGA file sequence is browsed normally with the image reading software ACDSee, then use the Digitools toolbox to convert the TGA file sequence into an AVI file format that can be used by the machine ’s new Creative 2000 editing box.

(2) Other file formats such as MOV / QT, FLC / FLI, MPEG / MPG / DAT can also refer to the second and third methods above for format conversion.

(3) Other conversion methods:

Due to the products of Haojie-Super Jieba 3000 Hero Edition, Haojie Video Pass 2.0, Haojie Super DVD III, etc., a large number of video file format conversion tools are provided to convert the video files that Super Jieba can play into Premiere 6.0 can recognize Video files such as MPG, VI files, etc., then use Premiere 6.0 to convert to standard AVI files or TGA image sequences (sometimes this step is not required), and then through Digitools toolbox to convert it to AVI that can be called by this nonlinear editing system File format, this method can generally be successful, but the converted video quality is not as good as the previous method.

(4) For online video publishing, the AVI file generated by the non-linear editing system can be converted to RM file format through Hero Video Communication 2.0, and then uploaded to the server for online video publishing.

3 Experience introduction

This machine uses M-JPEG compression method. Due to the compression method or compression rate, other non-linear editing systems may not be able to play AVI video files generated by this machine. At this time, you can download a software compression and decompression program on the Matrox website VideoforWindowsCodecs, this program can be used to play AVI files generated by a non-linear editing system with Matrox boards on a computer that does not have Matrox boards installed, which facilitates material sharing. The quality may not meet the requirements. At this time, the DAT or VOB video files in the material can be copied to the non-linear editing system through the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM on the computer, and then the required video can be generated by the software format conversion method. format.
