H.264 viewer issue

I am looking at a video editing software (videoredo). This software reads H.264 and can edit at frame level.

I have tried  it with some H.264 files I have downloaded from various internet sites and they work.

However, when I tried opening the file created by dm6467 demo encoder, (and also the h.264 files in data/videos)

it does not recognize the format. The spec given for their software is as follows:

This version is designed to seamlessly handle both MPEG2 and H.264 encoded files. H.264 is also called AVC and AVCHD. Technically, we support the following H.264 formats:

Input formats:

  • Transport streams with H.264/AVC video with the following audio codecs: MPEG Layer 2, AC-3, AAC and AAC-HE.
  • MP4 formatted files with H.264/AVC video with AAC and AAC-HE audio. This includes Apple MOV files, and some camera formats.
  • Video dimensions up to 1920x1080p at chroma 4:2:0.
  • WTV streams support is preliminary (see below).
  • All the traditional MPEG2 formats supported in earlier versions.

Can someone kindly tell me based on the above tech description, does TI encoders H.264 files fall into the

category ? 

Also can you suggest some frame level editing software that would work with the TI's encoded file ?

Thanks a lot,

Max

  • Hi Max

    I meet the same problem.

    I watch the video with smplayer.and the player can play some H264,but cannot play the H.264 created by dm6467 demo encoder.

    after I find that the H.264 format is MP. 

    now I watch the H.264 with ffplay.

    sorry max, I don't know which software can edit the H.264  created by dm6467 demo encoder.

    Thanks

     

     

  • I am assuming you are talking of DM6467 encoder outputs in standard DVSDK demo application "encode". This "encode" application outputs the data in elementary stream format. You can use the Elecard player to play back this elementary stream contents. You can use any other player should be able to support elementary stream contents to playback DM6467 encoded files.

    Other option is you can use some open source frameworks like Gstreamer to encapsulate elementary contents into container formats like MP4, TS, AVI that are recognized by most of the players. Gstreamer application on DM6467 can be downloaded from gstreamer.ti.com
