demux a .mp4 to elementary streams

[halsboss]

Hi, any suggestions how to demux an .MP4 file into elementary streams, so that I can then process the elementary video stream using DGAVCDec and AVIsynth ? WinXP-SP2 PC.

Tried YAMB which spent a long long time and yields a file with a strange extension like .cmp which I can't play with MPC. Tried to run AVIDEMUX which caused TREND 2008 antivirus to say "no" with a "attempted library injection" type popup.

So, advice on an appropriate .mp4 demuxer tool (and example commandline if applicable) would be much appreciated.
(Oh, just for reference, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=122923 hasn't answered it usefully for me as yet).

You can't play a raw avc h264 file (to the best of my knowledge). It has to be in a container, hence apps like AVC2AVI. Once you've demuxed it, you can open it up in DGAVCindex, as long as it is h264 and not XVID

Use Gspot to determine what's inside the MP4

Good


Not Good


Use 1.6 of YAMB

A recent MP4box.exe to place in the unzipped Yamb folder

Load the raw h264 in DGAVCindex


Works!



And that should do it. The rest is in the DGAVCdec documentation

Profuse thanks. The mp4box download wouldn't work for me, for some reason. Downloaded http://kurtnoise.free.fr/mp4tools/MP4Box-0.4.5-dev_20080201_msvc6.zip instead and that at least started up... then encountered error:

[19:48:18] : YAMB 1.6.0 started !

When opening, the .mp4 file, this was the video info

Track # 1 Info - TrackID 1 - TimeScale 30000 - Duration 02:15:39.698
Media Info: Language "Undetermined" - Type "vide:avc1" - 243947 samples

Downloaded YAMB 2.0.0.8 and tried that with this mp4box too, and the combo worked fine.

Beats me, but am very happy. Thankyou.
