Hi all,

I have a mov container that has H263 as the video codec and AMR_NB as the audio codec.

As i am using Java Media Framework Player, it does not support the playback of amr_nb audio codec.

What other audio codecs i can use for the mov container?

What other audio codecs i can use for the mov container?Just about any audio format can be placed within the .MOV container - although you'd be hard pressed to find the likes of AC3, DTS or Vorbis audio formats within .mov..... Better to stick with AAC or MP3 audio though


Cheers

But the JMF player does not support play back of mp3. Its really very limited of choices huh?

The list of supported audio formats is pretty limited.

I think Vincente might have better luck muxing his streams into the MP4 container and then using QuickTime Pro to save the .MP4's to .MOV

he wants to use this player, and this player only supports the mentioned format, therefore he needs to use one of the formats too
