Is there a way to know wich encoding profile/settings were used in MKV/AVI muxed AVC?

[bidomo]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make some videos compatible for viewing in a Xbox 360, some avi files are muxed with x264 AVC which bitrate and profile are unknown to me, so I'm asking if there's a way to now it.

MP4info does it but only in MP4 muxed AVC...


Also, I want to know if there's a way to "downgrade or downsample" a MP4 encoded as High profile 5.1 to 4.1, for the same purpose of viewing in a 360, so I don't have to do a complete re-encoding.


As always, any help will be highly appreciated


.::Edit::. Seems the 360 is playing some 5.1 profiled mp4 files with 128 LC AAC audio, so i'll try to re-encode audio in other videos and see what happens.


but still receiving help :)

Often 5.1 videos are 4.1-compliant; I believe you can edit the bitstream to fix it.

For finding the raw settings (encoder options), x264 embeds them in the stream header so the strings command will find it.

I'm pretty new to mp4 muxing, so I don't really know how to do this :(, but 5.1 appears to be 4.1 compliant

I'm on it



Thanks both of you, but I'm still wondering how to do the string commands, and how to do the bitstream edit (is it like a pulldown?).
