Working samples for mpeg1 and divx3?

[Philip Langdale]

Hi all,

One outstanding problem I haven't got around to addressing is that
I've never been
able to get mpeg1 and divx3 samples to play with my ffmpeg/mplayer code. As I
understand it, I shouldn't need to do anything special like BIH
manipulation but I've
been through many samples and not found any that play. It would be
really good if
someone could point me to one that they know plays so I can see if my
code is wrong
or not.

Thanks!

MPEG1 is not exactly supported by the HW. But DiVX3.11 should work as long as it follows the same path as XVID. The Gstreamer does this.

Do any of your samples play with the gstreamer plugin?

I will try to locate the Divx3 tests we have used.

Hi all,

Thanks!

Haha, well that explains it. So I shouldn't advertise any mpeg1 support?

I haven't had a chance to test with gstreamer yet but if it doesn't require any
special handling then my code should be fine. I've just had a really hard time
finding any samples that are unambiguously divx 3.11. I found a bunch of
stuff at samples.ffmpeg.org but it's not clear if I should expect them to play
or not. (Things like ms-mpeg4v3, etc). So I'd definitely appreciate a pointer
to a known good sample. Thanks!
