Appologies if this has been aswered somewhere else. If it was, I couldn't find it.

I'm trying to play QuickTime (.mov container) H.264 files without QuickTime (i.e. in any DShow app, like Windows Media Player or Zoom Player). I've got a couple of different DShow-compatible H.264 decoders that I want to evaluate, and some of the content I want to use is in .mov containers instead of .mp4 containers. Plus, it would just be cool to be able to play H.264 mov files without having to use QuickTime.

I imagine all I would need is a DShow splitter for .mov, and use my existing AAC and H.264 decoder filters. Is that the case? If so, where can I get a .mov DShow splitter that will work with H.264 inside?

My splitter can read the samples posted on apple's website, don't know about the files quicktime itself produces.

Which splitter are you using? The one on your web site is only for Matroska, isn't it?

tell the provider of the avc .mov to next time use .mp4 directly, its fully supported in quicktime and ensures borad interoperability with other avc implementations

in the worst case you can remux from .mov to .mp4 in qt7 too

no its for .mkv, .mp4 (+avc .mov) and .avi

Simply rename the .mov file to .mp4

Then you can play it in any DirectShow player using Haali's splitter (http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/) and ffdshow (http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd.asp?dir=/ffdshow) for the H.264 decoding. Use ffdshow or CoreAAC for decoding the audio.

Simply rename the .mov file to .mp4renaming is always a bad idea

Provided you have QT7 installed you should be able to play MPEG-4/AVC with AAC audio in .MOV via Media Player Classic.

Plus... if you have all of NeroDigital's direct-show filters installed you should also be able to play MPEG-4/AVC with AAC audio in .MOV via Windows Media Player 9/10: -

Infact it should be possible to configure most advanced media players to access NeroDigital's direct-show MOV filters... I can do this with MPC ;) : -
