MP4 - better support for interactive files (dvdlike menus)!!

bond · #1 (**permalink**) 23rd October 2003

as there is already support for ogm, avi, mkv files in bsplayer it would be great to also support the upcoming MP4 container format
for example the possibility to switch multiple audio streams or subs in MP4, read out tags etc...
atm all audio streams are played together (although the 3ivx mp4 splitter supports audio switching, which works for example in wmp6 or media player classic)

would be great if MP4 will be added to the supported formats

bst,
i am willing to send some sample files if needed :)

hm, it seems that the enviviotv directshow filter doesnt seem to work in bsplayer!

this ds filter is a very special one as it supports the playback of so called "advanced content" (for example dvd-like menus, user interactivity etc...) which is possible in mp4
to do so it uses its own renderer, perhaps that causes the problems in bsplayer (unkown file format)?

btw mp4s also can handle multiple video (!) streams in one file, perhaps a switch video function would be great too :D

as i said, bst, if you need samples, just contact me :)

hm, if this isnt possible that easily, perhaps it will be better to just skip all other video streams (atm there are aditional windows opened for each video stream)
as the movie itself is nearly every time the first stream, it would be the best imo to only play the first renderer (and ignore all others) as it is done already in media player classic

but of course anyways necessary is the implementation of audio switching support in bsplayer, cause atm all streams are played simultaneously
