Hi all,
I don't even know if this is the right place to ask, but I need this information.
Is there a method to mux an MPEG 4 video stream in a MPEG 2 container? I think this should be possible, since I can actually mux an MPEG 2 video stream in a MPEG 1 container.
I tryed to do this with tmpgenc but it refused to accept the m4v file i was feeding it.
Anyone already managed to do this? If yes, with what multiplexer?


Note to MODs: if you find this is the wrong place for this thread please move it where you find appropriate. I really need this information. Thanks a lot.

:search: this has been discussed very often already

but to answer it: yes, the mpeg-2 standard defines how to place mpeg-4 a/v streams in .mpg, still no tool exists atm that is able to do this

if you want to mux it in mpeg-ps your only chance is tcvp
(tcvp.sf.net); for mpeg4 in mpeg-ts you can can also use:
vlc (www.videolan.net, reccomended)
ffmpeg (ffmpeg.sf.net)
