Default Need sample SMV video files


After looking at the two SMV files I have, I've discovered that it seems to be a very simple format, so I'm writing a converter targeting SMV files for GNU/Linux (since there is none as of yet). Unfortunately, I only have two SMV files, so I don't have a good set to reverse engineer it from ...

If anyone could post smv files (any size, any length, any quality, any anything) along with as much information as you can provide on them (width, height, length in seconds, etc), that would help me a lot.

But please, don't post it if you haven't tested it on your player ... it seems like every other converter is garbage

Thanks!

What I know so far:
An SMV file is a .wav file (no, really, a .wav file (with a specific encoding)) concatenated with a small SMV header and then a .jpeg file (no, really, a .jpeg file) for every frame, or sometimes multiple frames per single .jpeg. The SMV header in the middle is what I really need to break to get this working.

Hi Gregor,

what's the make of your player? I got a TEAC which doesn't use SMV but something else, it's presumably based on an ALi chip... for SMV, there's a sourceforge project "smv-show" which might be instructive/interesting for you.

If you come across files starting with an "ALIAVI" string (not "SMV"), and/or a description of the format, let me know. Apparently the structure is similar, every frame starts with that "ALIAVI" string, the first image is a full JPEG, with JFIF header and all, the subsequent ones seem to be somewhat stripped - no need to have the same geometry information over and over.

Happy not to be the only Linuxer here,
Stephen
