For the veterans amongst us, we all know from, a small utility which allows you to change the video stream Four Character Code that identifies the codec used to compress/store the video stream. If you’ve used it before, then you will know that it’s a nifty little Windows program that can be used as a last resort when AVI files do not playback. Since FourCC Changer only exists for the Windows platform: here a free version for Windows, Linux (32 and 64bit) and MacOS X (intel). This application also support batches, offers a backup function and is very fast even for files in network shares. Before you begin Before you being using this kind of application, please be aware that changing the FourCC does not suddenly convert a video stream to another format. It only tricks your media player to believe it’s another codec/format. Therefor: only use this when you really know what you’re doing.

The reason why this sometimes can “fix” a “broken” AVI, is because quite a few codecs show a lot of resemblance and in certain cases they can decode video that was not originally intended for the codec that you have. For example MPEG4, DIVX and XVID show a lot of resemblance and considering the origin of DivX;-) this is no surprise. More information on FourCC can be found at:. (Windows). (Windows).

AVI FourCC Fix – FourCC changer for most platforms Select Files First thing to do is to add files to your list by either using Drag and Drop or by clicking “ Select Video Files“. You can add multiple files at once, or when you use Drag and Drop, you can even add an entire directory – all the AVI file(s) found in the directory and it’s sub-directories will be added automatically. Drag and Drop doesn’t work the same for all platforms. 1) MacOS X users have to drag and drop on the dock icon, 2) Windows users drag and drop on the application, 3) Linux user can only drag and drop from mounted volumes. Your selected files will appear in the list on the right. Make a backup.

Warning – Original files will be modified! Please be aware that the original files will be modified. Making a backup before doing so is highly recommended!

Optionally, you can use “ Make a Backup” to automatically have a backup made of all files in your list. The same filename will be used with “bak” added before the extension, so example.avi will have examplebak.avi as a backup file. Set current and new FourCC The next step is to enter your current FourCC and the FourCC you’d like to replace it with. You’ll notice that the drop-down already provides a long list of “common” FourCC codes.

Also keep in mind that the FourCC code is case sensitive!! The “ Fix QNAP Recording” button will automatically fill in the FourCC requirements for those who use this application to fix their Surveillance Station recordings. Change the FourCC The button “ Change FourCC” will, for each file in the list, look for the current FourCC you entered and when it finds it, replace it with the new FourCC code. This process will be very fast, even if your AVI files reside on a network share. Please keep in mind that the new FourCC cannot be longer than the old FourCC code.

So if your FourCC code was “RLE” then you cannot change it it “DIVX” (not that this would make any sense anyway). Hi David, The video actually does not get converted, so you might run into some compatibility issues there. I’m saying “might” since DivX and Xvid are closely “related”. I’m also assuming you’re using an AVI file, since the DIVX container format (not to be confused with the DIVX codec) is slightly different than the AVI container format. However, I’ve read reports that the “.divx” extension is sometimes used for a regular DivX AVI file. So it’s a matter of testing For Divx several 4CC’s are being used, not sure which one your file might be using, and I’m assuming it’s an AVI file.

Try one of these: 3IVD, DIV3, DIV4, DIV5, DIVX, DM4V, DX50, SAN3, SMP4. (I had to look these up as well, and I’m very surprised to see this many, and I’m not even sure if these are all of them) Hope this help hans. Hi, I’ve noticed the same under Windows. The files with names that have special characters in them get added to the list fine.

When the “Change FourCC” button is pressed, the program seems to patch them, and even displays the message stating they’re patched, but the files remain unchanged. One other thing that seems to happen is that after files are added to the list, if the “Change FourCC” button is pressed without selecting one of the files, the program comes up with the error “You did not add any files”. Thanks for the very useful tool by the way. Hi Jim, The problem with AVI is that it does not dictate what codec is being used. AVI is just a container for video files. This could cause certain files to play just fine on your BluRay player, and other not at all. Simply changing the FourCC might work when the FourCC code is being swapped with the FourCC code of another codec – both codecs have to have some level of compatibility though.

So changing the FourCC does not change the codec, and using a FourCC from another (unrelated) codec may or may not work. For example (I’m just making this is up to illustrate!), say be have the codec H264 (often referred to as MPEG4) and one called X264 (an opensource MPEG4 codec). Both are capable of handling h.264 video coded files. We would be able to get away with swapping the two FourCC’s.

However if we swap H264 for MP2V (the old MPEG2 video), then the MPEG-2 codec will try to play back the much more advanced h.264 file – but it will not be able to handle this format and fail. I hope this answers your question hans. Link QR Code. Donate Donations are highly appreciated.
