H.264/MPEG-4 AVC streams are playing in avi container.

[Ganesh Ujwal]

i can play videos like avi container consisting of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC streams,but in wikipedia they wrote H.264/AVC is problematic due to the limited B-frame support in avi container.
that i cant understand

i attached a video codec info of avi which contains H.264/MPEG-4 AVC streams. which i can play them smoothly without any errors.

The problem isn't in the container. It's in Microsoft's VFW library for accessing the container. Avoid VFW (which isn't used by any modern media player) and you won't have problems.

Even if you do use VFW to decode the video you can get around the one-frame-in-one-frame-out limitation by using "packed bitstream", aka "virtualdub hack".

Wikipedia itself IS NOT a "reliable source". Many/most of its articles must be read with a truckload of salt.

BTW, if H.264 is "problematic" for the .AVI container, so are MPEG-4 ASP (DivX/Xvid), MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, WMV3 and VC-1.

Also interesting, the ASF container isn't suitable for B-frames neither, but nearly nobody talks about this.
