[Live-devel] RE: playing mpeg-4 video-MP4-ES-1 file

[Bryn Reeves]

I'm not sure here, but If it's a video-MP4-ES file, I think the
extension for the Windows players should be m4v. An mp4 file is mpeg4
data in a file format based on the QuickTime movie file format (.mov),
rather than just the bare elementary stream - could be worth a try?
 
Alternately, I use xine/mplayer everyday and they are really great media
players - why not try them on your Linux box?
 
Cheers
 
Bryn

	Following your suggestions, I have been able to stream mpeg-4
video and have got the resultant
	video-MP4-ES-1 file. I don't have any media player installed in
LINUX and therefore I am using QuickTime and Real Player in Windows to
play this file. I have renamed this file to temp.mp4 but the file is not
being opened by these players.   The error message states that the file
is not a valid mpeg-4 file.
	 
	Please let me know the solution to this problem. Moreover,
please suggest any solution which doesn't require the use of any player
in LINUX.
	 
	Any help would be greatly appreciated.
	 
	Regards,
	Fahad
