Conversion from DICOM to MPEG failed...error was The operation could not be performed because the fi

Hello

I am new to the .NET and LEADTOOL multimedia SDK , if anything silly question then please ignore it.
I want a mpeg file from the DICOM retrieved from PACS server.
Therefore I tried to convert retrieved DICOM file to mpeg but code is giving me an error
"The operation could not be performed because the filter is in the wrong state".


I have attached a sample code .

Thanks in advance.

Your sample code wasn't attached.  Also, please send the Dicom file you're trying to convert to MPEG2.  When adding attachments, please follow these guidelines:

1.) Zip the file(s) up.
2.) Make sure it is less than 5 MB.  If it is larger, please send an email to support@leadtools.com and we'll send you FTP instructions.
3.) Remove ANY AND ALL unlock codes and LEADTOOLS DLLs.
4.) Do not click the preview button, the attachment will not show up when you post it.

If you do not wish to post your file(s) on the forum since they are publically viewable, please send an email to support@leadtools.com and make sure that you include a link to this forum post.

Here is Sample code. I have removed the Unlock code.
But i am not able to perform conversion because some of the dll are missing . How can i know the all dependencies (dlls) ?

Sorry Here is Sample code.

I see that you are hardcoding the selections for the audio and video processors.  These indexes for each filter will be different on every machine, so most likely you're trying to use codecs that you're not expecting.  You should use the ltmmCompressors.Find function to get the index of the compressor you want to use.  For more details on the Find function and what values to pass to it, please see the documentation in the Multimedia COM help file.

You also set the format to Avi, then you set the format to MPEG2Transport later.  Which format are you trying to save to?

I modified your code to use AAC compression and H264 video and save to AVI and it worked fine.

Thanks a lot For your reply .
I wanted to convert DICOM file to Mpeg
But i was not know about ltmmCompressors.Find method.
I want to use No compressor for audio and video compression
then what changes i need to do ?

Thanks In Advcance.

MPEG files or Transport Streams cannot be uncompressed.  As stated in the documentation for the targetFormat constants (ltmmConvert_TargetFormat Constants article), you will need to use compatible compressors such as MPEG2 for video and MPEG1 for audio. 

If you're wanting to create an MPEG file, you need to use the ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_MPEG2_PROGRAM format and then select MPEG2 video and MPEG1 audio compression.  You can use the LEAD Filters List utility to get the value you pass for the Find function.

Thanks a lot it worked for me.
