I have a program and that captures the screen and then takes those images and turns them into a movie. (Using the JpegImagesToMovies.java that was customized to work with .png) I have tried multiple extensions: .mov, .mp4, .avi (I am open to trying others). However, regardless of what extension I use, when I try to open the file with Windows Media Player I get the following error:
Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. Error code C00D11B1
I've also tried opening the file using VLC but that produces the following error:
No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "twos". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Opening the file using QuickTime does work.
So the question is, how can I produce a video file that can be opened with most if not all media players.
Here is my JpegImagesToMovie.java
