Ah, that's great! I would love to see the code. I'm no advanced programmer, but I do have some programmers down the hall who could have a look at it, and see if they can compile it. I'll also try and contact the programmer we hired some time ago to make our frame-stepping player and ask him how he s...

Omg! That actually worked! I have been under the impression for years that VLC did not do much with extensions, but checked the file contents to see what the format is... I guess that would still be the optimal solution for me, but nevertheless, I'm happy. Thanks very much, this has helped me a lot!...

Hi everyone, It seems that the byte stream format for H264 is not supported by VLC (up to 2.0.1). You know, the one where you don't have a container like 3GP or AVI, but just the raw H264 stream. Where the NAL units are preceded by the fixed code 0x00000001 in stead of the NAL unit length. I would r...

Well, in the end we decided to have our hired programmer try and build us a basic player, based on ffmpeg, which could framestep forward and backward. But indeed, like mentioned in the previous post, it poses many problems! Nevertheless, we do now have a player with, albeit limited, possibilities fo...

Being able to step through a movie frame by frame, forward and backward, would be extremely useful for me. I am into video analysis, and I use VirtualDub a lot for frame-by-frame analysis, but that software has the disadvantage that it does not play nearly as many formats as VLC media player. If VLC...
