Hello,
I would like to import a video file in Fiji/imageJ in order to track mice. I tried different video formats with several converters like : - .avi : The following message appears : "An error occurred reading the AVI file, unsupported compression : 34363248 'H264' " or even "Not an avi file" with an other converter. - .mov with QuickTime 7 Pro : I have a frame named "Bioformats import option", and when I click on "Ok", I have the following message "File is not a supported format, a reader plugin is not availaible, or it was not found". And howerver, I have the plugin "QT_Movie_Opener", "QT_Stack_Writer" and "QTVirtualStack". I also tried the solutions offered in this image J listserv like : -using FFMPEG (free video conversion software) but I can't load it -trying the FFMPEG plugin but it didn't change anything -using virtualdub and then exporting as a bmp stack then ImageJ/Fiji, but I can't open all the fragmented images in image J, I can only import them one by one Do you have any solution/suggestions to my problem to import a video in image J/Fiji ? It would be very helpful, Thank you, Julie -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |
As I've posted in the past, we use Quicktime Pro to output the movies to folders of single frame images. The software has options for a few formats and different fame sampling rates. We've used this for many formats including a project where someone used an iPhone to take 10 minute movies of mice in a box.

I also use Quicktime Pro (version 7 as the later ones don’t have many features). I output tiff sequences from Fiji and then import the image sequence into Quicktime Pro so I can export as a movie using any of the codecs Apple offers. Dave

Hi Julie,
well, ffmpeg should work for an H264 movie, e.g. ffmpeg -i infile.avi -pix_fmt nv12 -f avi -vcodec rawvideo outfile.avi This creates an NV12-coded avi file which can be opened by ImageJ. NV12 causes no compression losses in addition to those caused by H264 compression already. You can also convert the movie with Virtualdub into an AVI with raw format. Select Uncompressed RGB/YCbCr as compression. If you decompress the movie into single files, this should also work. Use File>Import>Image Sequence to open all files as a stack in ImageJ.

Hello,
I use VirtualDub, export each image into a folder (.jpg) and import them as image sequence in ImageJ. You can then save it as avi. I also track cells using TrackMate so I just use the image sequence file to track. I have been using the method for the last 2 years so I am quite sure it works. :) Cheers, Karen ᐧ On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 6:55 PM, Knecht, David <[hidden email]> wrote: > I also use Quicktime Pro (version 7 as the later ones don’t have many > features).
