darwin streamble nero digital mp4?

[bnz]

hi,

i'm playing with the darwin streaming server (linux) and some of my nero digital encoded mp4 files (ASP not AVC). does anyone know if there are certain nero digital settings that work with the darwin server? to me it seems that the hint tracks are missing. i've played a little with mp4ui/mp4creator and i could make a streamable mp4 video when i didn't include the audio track in the new mp4 container. if i did, it would stutter badly. i'd love to hear any hints on how to make nero digital files perfectly streamable.

moved to where it belongs

as dss is surely written to work with qt mp4 files i would say as a starting point you should encode with mpeg-4 simple profile (called quicktime compatibility or so in recode), as qt itself also only encodes to simple profile

after that you can start experimenting if other options are handled too by dss (qt itself can only play simple profile)

sorry for posting in the wrong category.

well...it seems it kind of works when remuxing with mp4gui with the hint tracks and with the quicktime option enabled. the stuttering seemed to be a problem of vlc - with quicktime there is no stutter. i couldn't find any option in recode for adding hint tracks though.

i dunno if mp4ui works correctly, its a pretty buggy tool, it might have f*ed up your timestamps, leading to the stuttering?

try adding hint tracks with mp4creator or mp4box on the nero created mp4 (not the mp4ui one) and see if the stuttering goes away

Sadly, mp4UI does indeed appear to generate borked "streamable" MP4 muxes. Especially if you are indending to watch them using QuickTime6/7 player.

All my MPEG-4/SP and MPEG-4/AVC streamable MP4 samples were muxed using YAMB ;)

EDIT: I'm also not entirely convinced that Recode2 is able to generate suitable "streamable" MPEG-4/SP and MPEG-4/AVC files!

yes! i got it working. it's just a matter of enabling the quicktime compability mode in recode and than hinting the file with mp4box. thats all! the nero recode files itself are not streamable i guess. if the nero gues would add an option for enabling hinting, this would be really idiot proof.

another interesting observation: when i tried to stream a rather large mp4 file through the darwin server, the kaspersky antivirus intrusion detection detected udp port scans. after a while the whole networking in windows did not react to anything but pings to locahost. when the intrusion detection of kaspersky is disabled it is no problem (zone alarm doesn't complain as well).

have you managed to do this with 5.1 audio?
