[gst-devel] mp4 file playback in VLC and in QT

[Overkill]

Hello Sriharsha,

I've some similar issue, but my files plays on VLC and not in QT.
I've solved by pushing out on caps
the codec_data.

I think you may use

gst-launch -v v4lsrc ! yourcodec264 ! fakesink

read the "codec_data" on the caps
out of yourcodec264 and copy the string
forcing thah caps.

gst-launch filesrc
location=/home/Gurpreet/inputfilesmp4/Akiyo_100_176_144_I_0_0_AllIDR.264
! h264parse output-format=0 ! video/x-h264,width=176, height=144,
framerate=25/1 stream-format=avc  codec_data="READ THIS" !  mp4mux ! filesink
location=/home/Gurpreet/outputfilesmp4/temp-1.mp4

I've not really well understand why it works, so I'll be glad
if someone can better explain :)

Also try with ffmux_mp4 and mov instead of mp4 (qtmux or ffmux_mov).
