[Live-devel] Develop H.264 Support

[David Betrand]

Hello,
My two cents on this :
Actually this matter is exactly the same as MPEG4 video handling in liveMedia library. There are several containers existing for encapsulation of H264 codec. Most of them are dialects of the mpeg 4 iso based media file format (ISO/IEC 14496-12).
This means at least :
".mp4" extension (ISO MP4, ISMA 2.0)
".3gp" extension  (3GPP)
".mov" extension (Apple file format)

But of course there are also other -less "recommended" I would say- like ".avi"

Most of the time, when no container is used, raw H264 frames are simply put in a ".h264" file.  

So, the nice thing would be to have in liveMedia demultiplexers for 3gp, mp4 and 3gp file formats. An simpler alternative would have to have support for H264 elementary streams contained in ".h264" files.

David.

>I am looking for someone to develop a sample application (possibly 
>>more) for streaming H.264 files. I can supply sample files.


Yes, please post the URL of such a sample file.  (*Don't* send the 
file itself via email.)  I'm curious as to what you mean by a "H264 
file".
