About VideoMach

VideoMach is the world's fastest image-to-video converter. In addition to that it can disassemble video to pictures, add audio to animations, extract audio from movies, speed up/slow down videos, and perform simple editing tasks. VideoMach is mostly used for converting output of high-speed cameras, time-lapse photography, stop-motion animation, 3D renderers and game videos.

In the Standard mode VideoMach supports popular image and video formats. The Professional mode adds extra file formats used in high-speed imaging and graphics workstations, such as BAYER, Vision Research CINE, SUN Raster, TIFF, RAS, SGI, RGB, XPM and AC3. During processing video can be enhanced using Brightness, Contrast, Resize, Rotate, Crop, Sharpen, Adjust RGB, Saturation, White Balance and many other filters.


Installation

Interactive: Start the interactive program installation by running the setup package videomach-setup.exe. By default it will install to the "Program Files\VideoMach" folder. If a previous version of the program is detected the installer will ask for a permission to overwrite it. Settings from the previous version will be kept.

Automatic: To install the program in silent mode (without displaying any dialogs) run the setup package with the /S parameter (must be the capital "S"). To automatically register VideoMach during silent install use the /key and /user command-line parameters. For example:

videomach-setup  /S  /key="my-license-key"  /user="user name"

Supported File Formats

All the details are available on the VideoMach Home Page (the big table).


HAV File Format

HAV is our own file format made for real-time playing and archiving of high-quality audio and video, such as computer generated animations. HAV format keeps the 100% original video and audio quality, but still saves disk space by utilizing optimized lossless compression. Other popular formats, such as AVI, WMV, MPEG, H.264, etc. can produce much smaller files, but they will loose some of the original video quality. HAV can also store FLC animations, since it supports 8-bit (256) colors animations. Supported color depths are 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit (allowing smooth transparency). Player for HAV clips called Imagen is available on our web site.
