H.264 Field Encoding

[zork99]

Hello everybody,

I did not suceed to play some H.264 video with VLC.
You can find some video samples on the following ftp links:

ftp://VITECMM-VLC:q6fnhy9t@sharespace.e ... _2048k.mpg

ftp://VITECMM-VLC:q6fnhy9t@sharespace.e ... _1536k.mpg

ftp://VITECMM-VLC:q6fnhy9t@sharespace.e ... F_512k.mpg

VLC (0.8.4) seems to play correctly these videos with a resolution up to SIF.
Higher resolutions (FD1 or HD1) are not played correctly. (Pictures are corrupted).

I know that these videos are "field encoded" (the two fields are encoded separatly).
Could it be the reason why HD1 and FD1 videos do not work properly with VLC?
If yes, is there a way to decode them with VLC or it needs a development?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer!

Bye

Since these file are packetized in MPEG-2 Transport Stream container,
you can decode these file and extract the H.264 video out, then you can use other decoder to play these H.264 raw video.
