Problem with avc baseline@L4.0

Postby luk4 » 25 Oct 2013 11:02

Hello!

I'm trying to save a h264 stream into file. I'm using this command

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,scale=1,deinterlace,acodec=none}:file{dst=filePath.mp4} :sout-keep
but it saves me in avc baseline@L4.0 which is not supported by any other codec pack in system. Windows media player can NOT play it, but vlc has no problem. Why is that? I think it could be something with videos, because I have saved another video from youtube with this command and it can by playing by any player (below is comparision)

Thanks in advance,
Regards!

I have been testing and the result is also weird. For avi mux i got codec h264 (in stable 64 bit version) and it works fine. But in the latest night 64 version i got also codec Advanced Video Coding which is not possible to open by windows media player.

Try to put in TS mux. And share the broken file.

Hi!
Thanks for the suggestion. Now its working, i mean i can play a video avc in windows media player. This is what im using:

Code: Select all

:sout=#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=filePath.mp4} :sout-keep
But file is getting too big, with h264 it was very nice, but it can not be viewed in windows media player. Could you tell me why?

Thanks, regards!
