View Full Version : Interleaving in MP4 files

As far as I can tell, the default interleave interval is 0.5 seconds. I was wondering if it's possible to change the interval after conversion without a huge amount of demuxing/muxing etc.?
One of the problems I'm currently having is that my H264 encoded MP4s are very jumpy when being played over my home network to my PS3. I was hoping to try and change the interval and see if it makes any difference.

The only way to change it is to remux the file.

So I need to demux it then? I was hoping there would be something in MP4Box so you could pass in an MP4 and pass another MP4 out with a different interleave interval. Oh well, just thought I'd try and remux my Seinfelds but I can't be arsed with doing 100+ episodes manually.

You shouldn't need to demux first. Try "-inter <duration_in_seconds>". (See http://gpac.sourceforge.net/doc_mp4box.php )

this mean (duration is in ms!):
mp4box -inter 250 myvideo.mp4
but be careful this will overwrite your original file and may finish in tears!
i recommend:
mp4box -inter 250 -add myvideo.mp4 -new mynewmp4.box

Thanks, I'll give this a go and see what happens.
EDIT: The video is still jumping like crazy over the network. I tried setting the interleave to 250, 100, 80, 50 and 40ms intervals and they all pruduced the same results. It's a shame, I was going to convert a few DVDs to mp4 and thought this would be very handy for streaming, but the PS3 just can't seem to handle mp4 over the network.
P.S. It's a wifi network but I've har much higher bitrate avi files playing without any problem at all, and they play fine from a memory stick.
