Need simple converter to avi or any simple video format.

[Researchman]

Several files for testing and analisys - http://ifolder.ru/19578609

PMF2AVI&AT3 cant work with 6 channel .pam video files.

[Researchman]

So, found not bad tools for converting to .avi and .at3 - http://ifolder.ru/19589623

New problem - any video(pam or pmf) normal converted to video. But dont extract audio from Demon Souls and White Knight Chronicles.

Files for testing - http://ifolder.ru/19589608

[AlphaTwentyThree]

Smarter way: cut the first 0x800 bytes from the *.pam, save as *.mpg and demux with TMPGEnc.
If you don't already know: File -> MPEG Tools... -> De-Multiplex, open *.mpg, double click on the private stream under the video and save.
You can see that both Demon's Souls and White Knight Chronicles don't have AT3 as audio codec. Will check later what it is, looks somewhat familiar.

[Researchman]

The problem is just with .pam audio extraction. If AT3 extracts, it is not retrieved until is AT3+ (Maybe). I could be wrong.

To be honest I don't get what you're saying.

Example:

Battle Fantasia - at3 audio from .pam:


Demon Souls - at3 audio from .pam:

No, still don't understand. You haven't even written what's on the pics. I don't know what I see here.

[Researchman]

As I write this, a video from .PAM easy to encode to AVI. Also easy extract standart AT3, but from Battle Fantasia can possible extract .PAM AT3 Audio. Demon Souls .PAM Audio cant extract. This is shown in the pics.

hi, me i have make aslo with mencoder for dump video and then put in avi, but i can't dump audio with this command mplayer -dumpaudio ICON2.pmf this generating a file with 0bytes ( i tested on Quantum Theory pam video )

Ok, I see what you mean. These pam files don't have an at3 stream as audio, but I don't know what it is (yet). You can demultiplex all *.pmf and *.pam files with TMPGEnc by cutting out the first 0x800 bytes and saving the file as *.mpg, then use TMPGEnc's De-multiplex (in "MPEG tools..."). I'm not sure if it works the right way with *.pam files because I wasn't able to parse the audio stream from Battle Fantasia with this method. However, the mencoder version works. But I'd change to batch file to

Code: Select all

mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile "%~n1.at3" "%~n1.pam"

and drag *.pam files into it without renaming them. It's much less work.
You could also use a loop batch like

Code: Select all

for %%i in (*.pam) DO mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile "%%~ni.at3" "%%i"

which will decode all the pam videos in the folder you run the batch.

PAM (from SDK):
Video - MPEG-2 or AVC,
Audio - atrac3, AC3 or LPCM.

PAM Video to MKV - mkvmerge (best for MPEG-2 and H.264, but need delete code before first 0x000001BA44) ......also it is possible demux after.

Care to get valid headers for AC3 and LPCM? Thanks.

Maybe it will help...
sample PAM: AVC+AT3, AVC+LPCM, MPEG-2+AC3

The files don't contain any headers, maybe you know that? But thanks, maybe I can get them elsewhere.
