I was playing around with the Haali Media splitter and the MP4Splitter from the guliverkli project off of SourceForge for some h.264 stuff at work. When I placed the Gabest mp4splitter in graphedit or use MPC (which uses it natively) the output pin is labeled "Elecard MP4 video handler (ehs)". Does anyone know why this is like this? Is this splitter free to use or does it use code from a commercial filter from Elecard? Or maybe used an Elecard SDK for development?
I downloaded the source and searched through it but could find no reference in the code to Elecard, so I wonder where this is coming from.

The source code of the mp4splitter has no mention of Elecard. That string comes out of your MP4 file. Other common strings are "Apple Video Media Handler" and "GPAC ISO Video handler". That MP4 file was probably encoded/muxed using Elecard software.

Thanks. That is indeed exactly what is happening. I used MainConcept's h.264 Encoder V2 to create these files and they used the Elecard codecs for this SW. I tried the same filter graph using an h.264 file created using x264 and it's handle was labelled "GPAC ISO video handler". I learn something new every day. Thanks, again.
