Hi Guys !

I had today a bit of free time and decided to investigate on this matter.
So first when I tried a few samples on the Apple' site Tizio mentionned, it WORKED Could see the files with image and sound in BSplayer.
But I realized that .mov files are not all the same and the ones I have trouble with, are coming out from a small Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 I have.

So I tried to identify these movies using the latest version of AVIcodec and Gspot...well, none of them could identify them properly.

AVIcodec says : "Opening Error No combination of filters could be found to render the steam for D:\P1080494.mov"
GSPOT says : "VIDEO Codec: JPEG - Name : Apple Photo JPEG - Status : Codec Status Undetermined"
"AUDIO codec: RAW : 8-bit unsigned - Info: 8000Hz - Stat: Status undetermined

Still they open and display alright with Quicktime Pro v7.60 (image and sound are OK)
Anyway maybe these info can help for further investigations...THANKS !

It's possible that you just need an M-JPEG decoder. Do you have a small file to post somwhere to be downloaded for testing ?

@BSchina
I tried to play a movie recorded with a Panasonic FZ5 and I wasn't able to play the video stream in BSplayer until I renamed the file extension to 3G2.

This way the Nero Digital Parser was used as a splitter and the video and audio streams correctly parsed.

@adicoto
For the downloadable source sample here are the ffdshow results:
The video reports the FOURCC: SVQ1 and the related libavcodec svq1 filter
The audio reports the QDM2 input (I don't know which kind of compression QDM2 is) and a generic libavcodec for the decoding filter

And the filters used to decode the file were ?

Thank you, solved the audio problem too. But in the video part, ffdshow reports SVQ3 not SVQ1.

Video
4CC: JPEG
FILTER: libavcodec mjpeg

Audio
BSplayer used the Nero QT audio decoder, but it's a simple RAW audio stream (probably PCM 8 bit)

Yes, you said that once, but when you click on ffdshow audio, you can see what compresion was found to decode.
