Well I wonder if I am the only one who noticed this or not... but here we go!
First I wanted to convert vid1337.mpg (vista dreamscene video) to a shockwave flash anim to use it as a screensaver on my cell phone, and thought it will be easy... and I was wrong!
I first tried to convert directly the mpg to flash using Blaze Media Pro and to my surprise the resulting flash file was 0kb! Tried several time and always 0kb.
So I tried to open vid1337.mpg in BSPlayer Pro and guess what, it gave me an error message telling video stream not found or something like that.
Then decided to import vid1337.mpg in Adobe ImageReady to convert it or extract the frames... same problems, video stream not recognized!
So I opened it up in WMP, and vid1337.mpg, plays just well... So in a last hope I tried to open it up in ACDSee, video loads and plays well too, but I couldn't extract any frames... weird isn't it!?
And what is even more weird... I tried to make a screencapture while the video was playing in WMP using PrtSc... the whole screen is captured, with the WMP windows but got a blank area where the video was displayed!
Tried with SuperScreenCapture and same things, the area of the video is completly blank...
So I really wonder what kind of format or protection this dreamscene file has... or if I have anything wrong on my system. What I should add is that I tried all this on a XP system (cause I have all these softs for XP not for Vista yet).
Anyone has an idea about this?
