Karl,

I can’t help you with your problem with the MP4-format file; however:

> 2. Attempting to extract just the video track ("-v") appears to work, and a file command shows "test.h264: JVT NAL sequence, H.264 video @ L 50", which should be ok.  However, I cannot play that with *any* of the tools in question, including VLC

The latest version (3.0.1) of VLC has a known bug that makes it unable to play “.h264” (i.e., raw H.264) video files.  However the previous version (2.2.8) of VLC should work OK.

Also, if you have “ffmpeg” installed, then you *might* be able to creating a working MP4-format file from the “.h264” file by running:
	ffmpeg -i vid.h264 -c copy vid.mp4
(You might also need to add “-r <number-of-frames-per-second>” (e.g., “-r 10”) before the “-i”.)
