Can not play raw h264 video
Posted: 26 Jul 2011 18:48
I have an h264 video bytestreams that do not play with the VLC 1.1.11.
I bring up the messages dialog and set verbosit = 2 then open the file...here is what I get:
I have tried using the .264 and .h264 extension. VLC never detects that the file is h264 video.
I opened the file with MediaInfo:
This same h264 data within an MP2TS plays fine in VLC. However, I need to use only the H264 data - I can not have it in any sort of container.
Any ideas on how to get VLC to play this file?
Thanks.
