This software identifies codec in AVI files and enables the user to modify the FourCC description. It supports the *.avi format.
The program was developed specifically for GNU/Linux (and other UN*X-variants) after noticing that there were no tools available that provided similar functionality as "Nic's Mini AviC" in Windows. This simple program is the perfect solution for those who work with AVI files frequently.
FourCC, which stands for Four Character Code, is a crude method to identify the codec used for encoding Microsoft RIFF AVI files. The FourCC is essential for selecting the appropriate codec for playing the AVI file. However, sometimes video players (particularly hardware ones) fail to recognize the FourCC, rendering the file unplayable.
The software solves this problem by providing a user-friendly way to change the FourCC of the AVI file to a value that the video player will recognize. This simple yet effective solution ensures that all AVI files can be played without any issues.
The latest release of the software comes with an added "force" option, which enables the user to change FourCC in unsupported files. This feature is a great addition as it provides more flexibility for users who work with different file types.
Overall, this software is a must-have for anyone who wants to work with AVI files seamlessly. Its user-friendly interface and powerful features make it the perfect tool for video enthusiasts and professionals alike.
