The VideoLAN Forums

I feel like I would try to describe a blind man what seeing means. I don't think that we will get any productive out of this discusion. If your are really intrested to learn what MPEG 4 is, you could go in library and read this book: http://www.amazon.com/MPEG-4-Book-Touradj-Ebrahimi/dp/0130616214 o...

I think that if you really read this standard and say you understand it, then you should also understand that this ISO standard (dated Oct. 2005) covers a family of formats under the umbrella of MPEG 4. In other words all formats that are considered part of the MPEG 4 specification that have thus f...

I have been trying desperately to be NON technical in my responses to people. It is Ok to do so, but I could not keep back to write an comment, because it happens from time to time that somebody with some technical background visit this forum. Yes, Nero is doing there own thing and often with very ...

Nero is the primary push behind this and QT now has their own format. There may be better support in all these areas in the future of VLC. All it takes is time and manpower. Nero is doing there own things. The Sub Format used by QT and GPAC is defined by http://www.3gpp.org/ and by http://www.iso.o...

...MP4 is a container and is supported. 3gp however is a variety of formats, primarily for audio and not every format is supported. VLC doesn't supported the MP4 file format (ISO/IEC 14496-14) if you are strict. The files that are supported by VLC are more 3GP/MOV files than MP4 files. MP4 File For...

Did you try to get some help in the vlc mailing list?

mp4: MP4 plugin discarded (no moov box)

Your file isn't complete or broken. In you file is no Movie Box/Atom (moov).

As far as I know rtp over rtsp(tcp) is only supported at client side (not at server side) by vlc.

No, there isn't.

But I don't understand why some other players (like WMP11 or Totem) found good informations in my videos... The Information in your file are allways wrong, but some players don't care for this info. Now, all it's OK, but I must transcode all my videos... You don't need to transcode, it should be en...

Your camera produce mp4 files with wrong information inside the moov box/atom, remux your file with MP4Box ( http://gpac.sf.net )

MP4Box -isma -add oldFile.mp4 output.mp4

So its absolutely wrong to write in vlc download page: "Select it and click Accept to install it with all it's dependencies." Did you insert your SuSE DVD/CD at installation time? http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html Go to Software Management and enter VLC in the searchbox and s...

The first solution proposed doesn't wors for me. Yast still says again the same message about libavahi after installing avahi-0.6.9-2.pm.0.src.rpm So is there any solution to install vlc under SuSE 10.1 that works ? Léon avahi-0.6.9-2.pm.0.src.rpm is a source(src) RPM if you install this you will f...

Click on "Start" got to "run"(not sure how this is called in your language) and write "cmd" and hit then [enter]. Or find an other way to start cmd.exe from your system folder.

Then change to your vlc installation directory:

"cd C:\path\to\VideoLAN\VLC"

QTSS/DSS don't support MPEG Transportstreams(mux=ts)

Try if this help you: viewtopic.php?t=18688
& http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-h ... to-en.html

Change the video codec to mpeg 4 and audio to aac.

I found a tip that said I should do a symbolic link (ln -s) from libdbus-1.so.2 to libdbus-1.so.1, but this didn't seem to do anything: ls /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1 -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2006-12-08 19:08 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2 That is, I still get the same dependenc...

If you can play H.264/MPEG 4 AVC you should be able to play MPEG 4 Simple Profile too.

Here(SuSE10.0/VLC 0.8.5) MPEG 4 SP@L0-3 play fine. Do you get any (error)message if you try to play a mp4 file?

ok then the problem is not the faad package ? for 9.1 is only 0.8.2 available and not 0.8.5 - thats the peoblem ? The faad2 rpm for SuSE 9.1 doesn't fit to the VLC rpm. Try to contact the one who build the SuSE 9.1 RPM. but there must be a way to run vlc under 9.1 ! You could try to rebuild the lat...

There is no recent VLC build for SuSE 9.1 you could try to rebuild the newest src RPM from PackMan.

rpmbuild --rebuild vlc-0.8.5-2.pm.8.src.rpm

This may fail, because of to old libs/dependency. If your firm with rpm spec files you can try if the problem is only the spec file and adjust it.

Which faad2 version is installed (rpm -q faad2)?

I don't have any trouble here with SuSE 10.0
Which SuSE version do you use?

Update faad2: http://packman.links2linux.de/package/faad2

Refresh your Yast PackMan Installation Source information and update your vlc version. If this doesn't help write an e-mail to the one who created the PackMan rpm.

hoo... In the pmt of DMB, it contains a PID of a BIFS stream. But till now, I haven't found out its usage.... :oops: I will go to http://gpac.sourceforge.net/ for more. The BIFS information in DMB seems to be only rudimental. In the case of one audio/video stream it seems to be similar to the scene...

I don't know, if it would be any help, to take a look at http://gpac.sourceforge.net/ , how there SL(Sync Layer) and OD(Object Descriptor) is handled.

Does DMB use BIFS too?

What you are failing to see is that everyone is kinda going there own way at the moment. I am aware of that. The truth is, if you are strictly about the currently available players, most of them are not MP4 Players. But this is an other story, and not of intrest for the normal user. But a developer...
