[Live-devel] MPEG4 elementary video

[Scott Hays]

The m4v file is obtained from an MPEG4 encoder/decoder chip.  Right now, I'm 
working with a file captured from the device, but I intend to stream directly 
from the encoder.

I don't know, but the problem you had with your divx encoded file might be 
that it wasn't MPEG4 elementary video, i.e. it was a full MP4 file.  I 
understand that the LiveMedia library doesn't support that file format at 
this time, and I've read about people running into problems with that when 
searching the mailing list archives.  You might check just to make sure that 
you were working with an elementary stream.  I know that the LiveMedia 
library isn't supposed to favor one codec over another.
