AVC QT -> .mp4?

[works]

QT7 is out and so are the trailers (http://images.apple.com/movies/us/hd_gallery/gl1800/serenity_1080p.zip) aswell.

Now, these files cannot be played back on QT6 because lack of support for AVC and QT7 for windows is still quite far away. I'v managed to use graphedit with Moonlight's splitter and Nero's muxer to get the video to .mp4 container, this plays nicely on Nero's player. Unfortunately no matter what I do, I can't seem to be able to extract the audio. Only filter in graphedit that I'v managed to link to the splitters audio out is 3ivx D4 audio decoder (which reports the audio to be "unknown" and 96kHz). With this the audio "ripping" will crash graphedit after few seconds.

[edit] I was trying to decode the audio first and then encode it back to AAC since patching it straight trough from the splitter to the muxer didn't take. This was going to be just a intermediate solution but even it didn't work.

Of course DirectShowSource("") with AviSynth yealds same kind of results because it uses the same filters.

Anyone, any ideas? Would be nice to change the container and spread the HD AVC love :p

simply passthrough the .mov to .mp4 in qt7 itself

[works]

Now that would require:

1) Mac with OSX 10.3.9 or newer
2) QT7 Pro

Quite obviously I don't have neither.

Version 1.0.0 Build 41110

http://koti.mbnet.fi/remedy/mp4/play.gif

This to play the video.

http://koti.mbnet.fi/remedy/mp4/saveas.gif

This to save the video.

I exported the video at home and it was smooth. I did the exactly same thing today at work and the video was choppy as hell. Fun research continues :p

I did an experiment with "batman_begins_1080p.mov" I muxed it into matroska using MkvToolNix and played it back fine in MPC (with Nero's decoder and CoreAAC) extracting the audio using mkvextract was simple enough, I assume you should be able to use the aac file in GraphEdit and mux it into mp4.

[works]

I found that I can extract the audio to wav with QT 6.5 Pro.

I was hoping to find a graph that would easily change the container, or even better, a converter with a GUI to do the same thing.

Did you try vlc to transcode to mp4 ? it should work

[works]

VLC crashes when trying to transcode it, but MkvToolNix was the answer. Stuck with Matroska then, better than nothing :)

haalis media (aka matroska) splitter should handle the aac in .mov in dshow

[planet1]

my two cents:

Video:

-Haali's splitter creates a valid video-pin for the BBC 1080p mov sample. (?maybe for all 1080p?)

-the 1080p samples are working with dshow decoders when remuxed to mkv (mplayer cant handle the 1080p avc-streams)

-only VLC seems to demux to raw AVC correctly, but thats still not muxable to mp4 via mp4box/mp4creator

Audio:

-mplayer,ffmpeg & VLC seem to output the AAC "totally" raw (no ADTS headers -> only foobar2000 can handle these)

-the best way to grab the audio is remuxing the .mov to .mka and using MKVextractGUI to get the desired .aac :p

ShowTime should be able to play QT7 AVC files soon, support was added to NDParser.ax to parse QT7 AVC streams. But I think it won't make it to the next update, but after a month should be there.

Hi 8) I am sorry for a long delay in uploading a new demuxer version, I has been pretty busy with my work on muxer which supports Sony PSP. The next release of the demuxer and muxer will be available shortly. New features implemented in the demuxer will be as follows:

- support of streams muxed with incorrect interleaving (audio is placed after video)
- QuickTime format support

BIFS support in progress.

and look, 9 slice (http://www.elecard.com/mpeg/faq/eye.jpg) :)

nice :)

altough i still dont really get what practically the useage is for multiple slices (apart from multiprocessor encoding and error resilience, which i both dont have/need) :D
