Rather than the usual H.264 codec, a lot of mp4 and webm vids being sent to me report they are using "bipolar" as their codec.

Trying to convert any of these files results in an error or a tiny file (around 6kb). That is local conversion or online conversion.

I use the K-Lite Mega pack of codecs, but the name "bipolar" doesn't exist in it's listings.

Oddly though, VLC media player can play the original files, though trying to upload them to Facebook or Youtube returns an error.

Any video experts here?
