I'm trying to convert a video (the "chickens.mp4" built-in file) with the HAP codec and play it in Max on Windows 10. To do the conversion I'm using FFmpeg from the command prompt, using this command:

ffmpeg -i "C:\Users\Federico Foderaro\Desktop\chickens.mp4" -vcodec hap -format hap_q "C:\Users\Federico Foderaro\Desktop\chickensHAPQ.mov"

The conversion seems to work, and I get a .mov file as an output.

Now, since Hap on Windows in Max cannot play a .mov, I convert the video to .avi always using FFmpeg. 


ffmpeg -i "C:\Users\Federico Foderaro\Desktop\chickensHAPQ.mov" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "C:\Users\Federico Foderaro\Desktop\chickensHAPQ.avi"

Problem is, that in Max when reading the .avi file I just get a black screen (or blue), so it's not working.

Do some of you managed to get this working without using Adobe Media Encoder?

Could some of you replicate my issue?

I was facing the same issue and got around it using movie converter at:

same here, I tried with this simple command : ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v hap out.avi (avi because I'm on windows)

Someone found the right command to put inside ffmpeg? maybe there is a special option to add in the command?

Maybe Solved? For me with virtualdub is working :)

Hi Guillame, using the command you posted above?

no, just with virtualDub, I read somewhere is not possible with ffmpeg. With virtualDub the export is supppppper slow and the final file is really heavy. But it's free , you can batch a folder full of movies and the quality is great for what I tried.

Don't forget, Virtualdub natively don't accept mp4, you need to add ffmpeg plugins ( here >>> https://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdubffmpeginputplugin/ ). You're welcome federico :)
