Hi all,

Files muxed with mp4creator seems not to work properly.
My workflow:
1. Encode with virtualdub to XVID Simple@Level 3
2. at command:
mp4creator60.exe -create="input file.avi" "output file.mp4"

Quicktime refuses to play the file. Using MP4Box:
1. Encode with virtualdub to XVID Simple@Level 3
2. at command:
mp4box.exe -import "input file.avi" "output file.mp4"

Output file plays without a problem in Quicktime.
Strangly enough, muxing with mp4creator60 version 1.0 never gave a problem neither.

Another issue is when hinting a file, version 1.1 prints out an error like:
MP4ERROR: FindTrackIndex: Track id 0 doesn't exist
mp4creator60.exe: couldn't create hint track, no media samples

Is there a reason(s) why version 1.1 is worser then version 1.0?

last muxs results in a warning only, pressing continue is ok, but it shoulnd show a warning message because video and audio are encoded in a compatible format.

the warning :
"You may experience problems playing a video track in "file.mp4" because the compressor found that the image data may be corrupted. Would you like to close the movie or continue"

edit:
nevermind i have found a way to create mp4 files which plays fine locally as streamed from Darwin streaming streaming server.

Thnx for your time folks.

Idd, i now use mp4 box to mux mp4 files and only use mp4creator to mux aac to a temporary mp4 and use mp4box again to merge video and audio together.
