wow cool stuff, another directshow .mp4 container splitter, able to even handle h.264-in-mp4

Lupus_aka_Den, are you related somehow to moonlight/elecard?

did you try the coreaac aac audio decoder and the xvid, divx5 and ffdshow video decoders for mpeg-4/h.264 with this demuxer filter? did it work?

moved to container forum, as its more a container (.mp4) topic

indeed, evil moonlight. time to ask milan to add "s264" to the supported fourccs in ffdshow

but their splitter outputs "mp4v" for mpeg-4 part2 streams, which means it can be used with the xvid, 3ivx, ffdshow and divx5 decoder
it also supports coreaac

didnt try whether mp3-in-mp4 worked
edit: tried it and it seems that the moonlight splitter doesnt support mp3-in-mp4. it can connect to the filesource filter, but neither the default windows mp3 decoder, nor moonlight's own odio dekoda can connect to the splitter
(also it seems that mp4uis mp3 muxing outputs borken files, mp4creator works)

I try such graph (.mp4 with MPEG-4 and AAC):
------------------------------------------/->CoreAAC Audio Decoder->Render
FileSource(Async)->MP4 Demuxer->
------------------------------------------\->ffdshow MPEG4 Video Decoder->Render

This work, but i found some problems with navigation that I plan to fix in the future

H.264 properly working with our decoder, ffdshow video decoder can't connecting with video pin

No, I choose "s264" because i can't find any information about fourCC code for H.264. "s264" simulate "s263" for H.263

I changed the fourcc from h264 to avc1 and ffdshow still played it .
VLC 0.8-2 opens the mp4 without any problems, though.
Interesting.. I'll try to change my "s264" on "avc1"

Well, that's the official standard for h.264 in mp4!

But thanks a lot for implementing it!

i don't think so :-) say, the mpeg2 support they released was far the best and the most stable. i've used that exclusively. now, ffdshow seems to be reached acceptable speed and stability.
as regards h264/mp4, it is the only solution at the moment.

no, it's time to ask lupus very kindly to keep up with the standards, say, outputting 'avc1' or 'h264'.

i tried the stuff this way
- elecard demux registered
- x264 encoded into avi by mencoder
- the video (re)wrapped into mp4 by mp4creator (thx, gotaserena)
- 's264' registered and related to vss decoder (sorry, lupus, i plan to try elecard decoder too, but no time so far :-))
- mpc plays it fine (if inner mp4 support is switched off)

i haven't tried adding aac but it'll the next

thx for releasing this stuff ... btw ... moonlight a/o elecard ? ... i'm always confused :-)

thx
y

might be better. as i am sure you know mpeg-4 part2 video streams are marked as "mp4v" in .mp4, aac streams as "mp4a". in the same way avc streams are marked as "avc1", it could be therefore considered as something like the "official fourcc" i think

i dunno an url to one, but you can very easily create them yourself with the mp4creator tool of mpeg4ip, which you can find here

its opensource and you will have to compile it yourself or you search around in this forum for some links to compiles

you can use the following commmandline for muxing .mp3 (or even .mp2) audio streams into .mp4:
Code:
mp4creator60.exe -c input.mp3 output.mp4
btw the same way its also possible to store mpeg-1/2 video streams in .mp4 already, which you might want to support too!

"h264" is nowhere mentioned in mpeg-4

mpc has internal .mp4 support?

I believe it's in here somewhere. Section 5.8.1 says that 'avc1', 'avcC' and 'm4ds' are acceptable "Box Types"

At any rate the page with all the info is here: http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/working_documents.htm

Looking forward to the new beta!

I've been looking for something like this but I can't make it work at all.

Please confirm, apart from this de-multiplexer, what other filters do you guys recommend installing?


Cheers

there is also a decoder package available on the same site, which includes moonlights h.264 decoder, which can connect to their .mp4 splitter

Looking at the information that comes (in the form of an PDF file) with the de-multiplexer, an mmpeg4dec.ax is available somewhere: -



Is it within the "Moonlight H.264 Decoder&Streaming Pack 1.1.40916.exe" you mentioned?


Cheers

No, but the package comes with a "h264dec.ax" which does what it should, but with a logo!

Also, I couldn't make the demuxer work with 5.1 AAC.

Well this begs the question, where is the mmpeg4dec.ax DSdec filter?

But anyway, surely the MP4Demux.ax filter should be able to connect to other "non" Moonlight (Elecard) audio and video DSdec filters?


Cheers
