GoPro Studio is a fantastic platform for creating and editing GoPro footages. It allows the user to export edited video footages in two ways. They are,
If the codec allocates writable tables in its init, add an initthreadcopy which re-allocates them for other threads. Add AVCODECCAPFRAMETHREADS to the codec capabilities. There will be very little: speed gain at this point but it should work. The GoPro® CineForm video codec SDK. View on GitHub CineForm Introduction. GoPro CineForm® is a 12-bit, full-frame wavelet compression video codec. It is designed for speed and quality, at the expense of a very high compression size. Image compression is a balance of size, speed and quality, and you can only choose two. VLC Codec Pack 2.0.5 on 32-bit and 64-bit PCs. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system on a laptop or desktop PC from video codec packs without restrictions. VLC Codec Pack 2.0.5 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows. A codec compresses or decompresses media files such as songs or videos. Windows Media Player and other apps use codecs to play and create media files. A codec can consist of two parts: an encoder that compresses the media file (encoding) and a decoder that decompresses the file (decoding).
The h264 format is a very good choice for sharing created GoPro videos on the web. But H264 format encompasses somewhat a whole heap of compression algorithm that results in loss of a lot of information. So, GoPro Studio users typically opt CineForm format (GoPro’s own codec) to export their edited video files.
The CineForm format results in video files that are of higher quality in comparison with the H264 algorithm. CineForm video files come packed with MOV container and when the user tries to play the exported video, they might feel difficulty in opening it. Typically, users can’t open the exported CineForm video footages and face error that states cannot play the CFHD codec.
But, this is not an unresolvable issue; in fact, it is very easy to fix. So, here it is explained how to play GoPro CineForm MOV video files without difficulty.
To play exported CineForm videos, you must have necessary codecs. And, there are two ways to install the required codecs on your computer to play GoPro CineForm video files.
In certain instances, this technique doesn’t help due to some or the other reasons. Since the GoPro Studio software might be a higher freight than you require if the goal is to play only the videos.
Once the CineForm codec is installed on your Mac system, it should be automatically accessible in QuickTime player.
According to research, QuickTime 7 works best in playing CineForm MOV files. Since QuickTime 7 involves a different structural design than the consequent editions of QuickTime. Thus, the videos play swiftly and evidently, like any other video files.
No issue even if you have other editions of QuickTime. If you play the GoPro CineForm videos in newer versions of QuickTime, it will play, but it slows things down as it needs to through a conversion process first. So, just give a try for your existing QuickTime player. In case, you face any issue then go for QuickTime 7.
In case, the video plays fine after fixing it then this verifies you were facing playback issues due to video file corruption. I suggested Remo Repair MOV because it is the efficient way to fix damaged MOV files as well corrupted.
VLC is a reliable and open-source application available to play any (a huge number of) video file formats. But VLC cannot play videos encoded in GoPro CineForm format since CineForm is the proprietary format.
But, GoPro might change this somewhere in future as GoPro announced that when the CineForm codec grow into SMPTE standard (in progress), it supports VLC player. At that time, you can enjoy the playback of CineForm MOV videos even in your VLC player.
