The timelapse files saved in the SD card of my P1P are in AVI format. This video format is not very convenient as it cannot conveniently shared on social media platforms and messaging apps (like Telegram) so I am forced every time to manually convert these timelapse videos to MP4 format.
Often the timelapse of a single print takes multiple files and when I try to open one of them in AviDemux I get the error “Malformed header”. HandBrake handles them fine but it does not support video files concatenation (merging), so in order to convert the timelapse parts of a single print into a single video I must first use HandBrake to convert these AVI files to MP4 one by one and then use AviDemux to merge them.
Is there a way to set the printer to save these timelapse files in MP4 format instead of AVI? If not, what is the best place to suggest this feature to Bambu Labs?
I just using an iOS app called Joint Craft to download timelapse from my P1S, it can save timelapse as MP4 to photos or share it directly to other apps like Telegram.
I can understand that the camera can only manage the video stream in .avi. but I see that many people have problems playing this format and therefore have to switch to other external software to convert it. but many users may not be able to or don’t want to. this certainly limits the publication of time-lapses on social media or similar.
I wonder why a video stream converter hasn’t yet been implemented in Bambu Studio that converts the file when I download it. this would also give visibility to the company because they would shoot more time laps.
