MP4 & QuickTime File Splitter
This page is a copy of the original page on the AVObjects' web site and can also be viewed here.
Splitter (demultiplexer) for MP4 (MPEG-4) and QuickTime video files.
Overview
DirectShow decoder filter for H.264/AVC video streams.
In order to play MP4 files, you must have MP4 Splitter installed. Not to be confused with MPEG-4 Video, the MP4 Bitstream format is a wrapper format (similar to AVI/OGM/Matroska).
// Filter splits MPEG-4 files (.mp4, .mov, .f4v, .3gp, etc.) into its constituent
// audio and video streams.
// // Supported types of streams: // // 'avc1' // H.264/AVC stream according to ITU-T Rec. H.264 / ISO/IEC 14496-10 // and ISO/IEC 14496-15, Advanced Video Coding (AVC) file format // // 'mp4v' // MPEG-4 Video stream according to ISO/IEC 14496-2, Visual // // 'mp4a' // AAC Audio stream according to ISO/IEC 14496-3, Audio and // ISO/IEC 13818-7, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) // // 'raw ', 'twos', 'sowt', 'in24', 'in32', etc. // PCM Audio with big or little endian, 1 or 2 channels, 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits // // MPEG-2 types // MPEG-2 Video stream according to ISO/IEC 13818-2 // // 's263', 'h263' // H.263 video stream // // 'samr' // AMR audio // // Generic video ('png ', 'jpeg', etc.) // Encoded video streams
Supported Standards
- ISO/IEC 14496-1 (MPEG-4 Part 1): Systems
- ISO/IEC 14496-12 (MPEG-4 Part 12): ISO Base Media File Format
- ISO/IEC 14496-14 (MPEG-4 Part 14): MP4 File Format
