View Full Version : Disk storage Containers for MJPG / MJ2K?

I'm stuck working in the DirectShow world. I'm currently using the LEADTOOLS' OGM Mux and Splitter, but these filters exhibit strange seeking behavior that LT is choosing not to acknowledge.

I'm wondering what container format is most often used with MJPG and MJ2K streams for disk storage. Apparently MJ2K is spec'd to use the ISO container (MPEG-4 Part 12). Are there any MP4 boxing filters that would support an MJ2K stream?

What about MJPG, I've seen some stuff regarding H.263, but isn't this container also similar to the ISO?

I'd be willing to drop support for MJPG if I can get a MJ2K/MP4 solution :)

Wouldn't be better to use x264 in Intra only mode and mux .264 into .mp4?

My question was just regarding elementary video streams in Motion JPEG or Motion JPEG 2000 codecs

I've mostly seen AVI used for MJPEG in my experience.

Yes mostly AVI. MOV container can hold MJPEG variants as well (AVI is better option, especially on PC's)

Hi,

Some photo cameras pack MJPEG video in MOV format (i.e. OLYMPUS). But storage gain is minimal.

P.S. poisondeathray has been more quick in the reply.

All the MJPG I get is in an MOV container with lots of PCM tracks. It's all encoded using the Apple "Photo JPEG" encoder, which sucks >:3

I'd definitely prefer it was all in AVI though... :)
