Mp4 codec

[juanmanuelsanchez]

hi ! I used Nero recode 2 to make some movies feet in my dvd, now i need a good codec for my laptop so I can see them.

I used 3ivx but its not good, the movie stops , or the audio goes and the video freezes.

In the computer where I made the dvd the movie its fine.

PLease help me.

Thanks!

I would say that XviD is the best ASP MPEG-4 video codec if that is what you mean, although 3ivX also includes an aac encoder and mp4 muxer.

Why not ffdshow?

[juanmanuelsanchez]

buts its not Xvid... hte files that are recoded have a mp4 extension.

So I need a good mp4 codec for the movies.

mp4 is a container. XviD is an ASP MPEG-4 video codec.
XviD handles ASP decoding from mp4 fine as does ffdshow.

Nero however can do AVC and ASP.
For mp4 playback you need a splitter, plus decoders for the video and audio. ffdshow can also handle aac audio, but you still need a splitter such as Haali's.

What you need is 3ivx codecs.Other codecs wont work.

your computer may be not powerful enough to decode on the fly -- dont blaim 3ivx for this

You might try VLC Media Player.

I recode to Nero Digital's MP4 version and they play well in the freeware VLC Media Player. However, I cannot be sure if VLC is using its own codec or one I already have on my PC.

I saw a post elsewhere that said VLC DOES supply its own codec(s).

Good luck!

yep, vlc uses its own codecs.
