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
