Problem with MP4 using H.264 "field" codec mode
Last modified: 2010-01-06 23:09:25 UTC
Hello, I encouter a problem when I'm using a video player based on GStreamer with a video using the MPEG-4 H.264 codec in "field" mode. If the video uses the "frame" mode, the video displays correctly. But if the videos uses the "field" mode, only a few part of the video is displayed at top of the screen (approximately 15-20% of the video). I think the problem comes from the gst-ffmpeg codec because this video is displayed on VLC which uses its own codecs. Thanks, Alexis FOERSTER.
Do you have a sample movie to test with? Also VLC uses ffmpeg to decode h264, just like gstreamer.
Thanks for your help. Currently, I have a video sample of 1.7Go and I'm waiting to have a litte one from my users. I don't try to make a part of it personaly because it may possible that I change the codec format. When I will have it, I will upload it on my website and write a new post here. Thanks.
