Hi Xperts.

Well i have a *.mpeg4 file. Well, when i tried to play the same with VLC,
looks like it doesn't play?  Initially i got and error while Parsing

" waiting for sequence start " ==>  in modules/packetizer/mpegvideo.c .

But since its a mpeg4 file, it should have been processed by
modules/packetizer/mpeg4video .c  ?  Below are some of the messages.....

****************************************************************************************

[00000225] main decoder debug: using decoder module "ffmpeg"
[00000225] main decoder debug: thread 1184619360 (decoder) created at
priority 0 (input/decoder.c:159)
[00000218] main input debug:

[00000224] packetizer_mpeg4video packetizer warning: waiting for VOL
[00000224] packetizer_mpeg4video packetizer warning: waiting for VOL

// Note# At this point it doesnt does anything and starts looking for VOL(
Is that Video Object //Layer?). And As it doesnt gets that, it just reaches
EOF and exits ?

[00000218] main input debug: EOF reached
[00000218] main input debug: closing input
[00000224] main packetizer debug: removing module "packetizer_mpeg4video"

****************************************************************************************

Kindly correct me if i am wrong,
File/open --> Parsing-->packetiser-->demux-->decoder ( w.r.t decoding)
Is the above line correct in operation with VLC?

Kindly let me know what can be done to rectify the same.


Thank you in advance.

Warm Regards,
Sagar
