<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Folks,</div><div><br></div><div>For my project, I need to build a custom container as a proof of concept. The container will have just one H.264 video stream and one AAC audio stream. I will write a vlc demux to deal with this container file.<br></div><div><br></div><div>To keep things simple, the container format I am thinking is:</div><div>1. First 8 bytes contain the location for the start of audio stream.</div><div>2. Video stream follows.</div><div>3. Audio stream follows.<br></div>
<div><br></div><div>I have a sample .mp4 file. I will strip video and audio data from this
mp4 file and create my container. Let's call it sample.my4. I will wire ".my4" extension into vlc.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I don't know much about the internals of x264 or AAC, and I am hoping I don't need to. However, I am not sure if stripping just audio and video streams are enough. Do I need to strip any other metadata from the original mp4 file? I guess for now it is okay if the user cannot do random seek.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Peter<br></div><div><br></div><br></div></body></html>
