VLC fails to play Arcsoft HD PVR MP4 file output
Posted: 28 Jul 2009 04:41
In the past, VLC can play any AV file which Windows Media Player can play.
However, when presented with the MP4 HD PVR file output from Arcsoft, the user is forced to use Windows Media Player instead.
When VLC attempts to play this media, the audio plays, the video is distorted, then crashes within 5 seconds.

Windows Media Player (WMP) in properties claims to be using (successfully):
Audio codec: Arcsoft Audio Effect HD
Video codec: Cyberlink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD6.X)
Bit rate: --
Why does VLC fail to play this media ?
[The HD PVR currently has 3 selectable output file formats, TS, M2TS and MP4]
[The HD PVR currently, is the only product which is capable of receiving an HD high definition picture in component video analog form, from the Cable Set Top Box and pumping it in digitized form into the PC. All the hundreds of STB channels are available through this method, not just the ATSC QAM 9 or 10 unscrambled channels available using ATSC QAM capable TV Tuner cards. Maybe 80 of these channels on cable are officially classified as HD channels].
