[Live-devel] Converting H.264-ES to MP4-File

[Etienne Bömcke]

I can't help you with the implementation of a converter based on the  
liveMedia code, but if you're willing to use an external program, I  
think mp4box could be the solution (see http://www.videohelp.com/tools/mp4box) 
. I used it some time ago to encapsulate raw H.264 streams in mp4  
containers, and it worked flawlessly. I'm not familiar with the  
transport/elementary stream formats though, so I can't guarantee you  
that H.264 elementary streams are supported, you'll have to test it  
for yourself.

Cheers,

Etienne
