mp4 playback insanity!!!

[Phobos]

omg why ohh god why is this so difficult????????

i have a couple of movies, both xvid and heaac audio...

#1 muxed with 3ivx filters which plays fine in wmp but subtitles are out of sync (external srt file). This file stutters with osmo4 in any framerate i try...

#2 muxed with mp4box with subtitles (bonds script) which looks somehow zoomed in windows media player (i can see a zoomed top left corner) and subtitles still out of sync (external srt is viewable, muxed subtitle isnt). meanwhile i cant open it with osmo 4, it crashes... anyhow i could open it with osmo once and subtitles (the same srts that are out of sync in wmp, what the hell!! :confused: ) this time where in perfect sync, the drawback is that video is out of sync now :mad: , not to mention i cant open it with osmo again...

bond, save me bond...

you are using vsfilter to play back the external subs, right?

This file stutters with osmo4 in any framerate i try...note that osmo4 0.1.1 doesnt handle playing advanced simple profile encodes (with b-frames, qpel, gmc)
the latest cvs version (ffmpeg_plugin) should handle it tough!
but try also muxing with the latest 3ivx version (4.5.1)

#2 muxed with mp4box with subtitles (bonds script) which looks somehow zoomed in windows media player (i can see a zoomed top left corner)hm interesting, how do you play this file? with the 3ivx decoder, ffdshow...?

you can try adding the following line in the script:

geometry Bitmap {
scale 1 1
}muxed subtitle isntyep, you need a bifs capable decoding filter!

thnx a lot dude!!! vsfilter solved the external subtitle problem in wmp

the osmo4 version available at rarewarez has no ffmpeg_plugin, right?? i tried to compile myself with no luck...

and yes, i play this file using ffdshow, its funny how it works well muxing with 3ivx but not with mp4box, i added that setting to your script but i still only see a zoomed top corner of the video in windows media player....

last but not least, osmo4 has a bifs decoding filter right??? anyhow it keeps crashing whenever i load the file muxed from mp4 box... any more advise?

how is it shown in graphedit?
also try other decoder filters (eg 3ivx or divx5)

last but not least, osmo4 has a bifs decoding filter right???yep of course
thats the main reason why it was written

anyhow it keeps crashing whenever i load the file muxed from mp4 box... any more advise?well, how did you produce that file?
as i said dont use b-frames, gmc or qpel (unless you can get the ffmpeg plugin for osmo4)
