where to download cool animations for testing?
Question
I am looking for some sites where I can download some short clips (5-20seconds) for testing purposes of video import routines.
Does anyone has some data sources for wmv, mpeg, mov, etc. ?
Thanks!
Solution
Or just take some short vids with a digital video camera (or digital camera), import them onto your computer.
You can convert video files at http://www.zamzar.com/ to any format from any format.
OTHER TIPS
Youtube, and convert it with ffmpeg
Or film trailers are often in mov (imdb: http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Trailers/ )
Or game trailers, gamershell / gamespot / ...
I was searching for this few days ago and here is best one I found:
http://www.jhepple.com/support/sample_movies1.htm
16 different files (two original samples), rather small sizes, covering most of popular formats.
MetaCafe allows you to download videos. I have some clips that I use for testing which are downloaded from there.
