Hi,<br><br>I've been using the x264 codec with great pleasure for some time now for the european SEMAINE project. To play the x264 encoded videos I prefer to use mplayer, which always works. However, due to limitations of OpenCv, a computer vision library, I now have to use Quicktime for decoding. I've found the x264 Quicktime codec 1.1 on Berlios, which seems to be an inactive project. Installing it helps, as I know don't get a quicktime error and I can hear the recorded sound. I do not, however, see anything: it's just playing black frames.<br>
<br>I used mencoder to encode some low quality videos. This is the line I used for encoding:<br><br>mencoder -o avtracks.avi -audiofile atracks.wav -oac copy -ovc x264 -vf scale=640:480 -x264encopts subq=4:bframes=2:b_pyramid:weight_b vtracks.avi<br>
<br>Any clues, or pointers to new decoders for quicktime?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Michel<br><br>-- <br>Dr. Michel Valstar, Research Associate<br><a href="http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mvalstar">http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~mvalstar</a><br>
