Applied.

This is so trivial it belongs in 0_90, too IMHO.  If nobody objects I
will apply it in a few days.

How to play the raw mpeg4 bitstream

Hi,
   I have got a stream encoded with ffmpeg, with file name .m4v,
i can sure it is a raw bitstream without any header
i can decode it using ffmpeg, but how to play it using Mplayer??
 
./mplayer movie.m4v
========= sorry, this file format is not recognized/supported ====
 
but i can sure it can be understood by libavcodec, how to solve this problem??

thank you, i am also sure ffmpeg use libavformat to find the correct codec to decode it.
 
Is is possible for Mplayer to support MPEG4-ES decoding, as i know,
mpeg4 is the same mpeg1/mpeg2 bitstream, they don't need globe header,
we can decode mpeg1/2 bitstream start from anywhere in the bitstream, it will search
next frame start code and start to decode it.
 
Why Mplayer can play a MPEG2 elementary stream, but can't play a MPEG4
elementary stream?? If at this time, Mplayer can't decode a MPEG4-ES, we can submit
patches to it. But i must know is it true first??

and if i use ffmpeg to convert the mpeg4-ES into avi, ffmpeg will decode it first then
encode it again with avi header .
(command:--> ffmpeg -i movie.m4v movie.avi) of course, this command works fine.
But it is waste time and video quallity will be degraded!
 
someone tell me to use
---> ffmpeg -i movie.m4v -vcodec copy movie.avi
but using this command, it can't played correctly using mplayer, even ffmpeg itself can't
decode the copyed movie.avi correclty.  It's strange!! I think the avi header and because
chunk length is fixed to 2048.
 
I have asked this in ffmpeg, but it seems no one answer.
other command usage ??

Gah, of course not. Funny how you never notice these things until someone
points the out to you. :))

I don't think this is worth it. Just add in the docs that if you have a 
strange kernel it might not compile, and to get a vanilla tree.
The idea is that if you need a strange kernel, you know what you are 
doing and can patch mplayer yourself.

That would be great Dave, then one would simply go like "mplayer
foo.smil"?

Yes, it works with URLs too. Do you have any test files or URLs you can
give me? I've only had one to test with,

gmplayer, gui is blank

I am compiling mplayer from CVS and I have an issue with the gmplayer part. 
When I run mplayer everything works great, but when I run gmplayer I get only 
a black window where the GUI should be. If I right click on the output window 
I get the menu and I can even edit the preferences, but the area where the 
play/puase etc buttons is black. Is there a lib/package I need to have 
installed to see this window.

config:

OS: RedHat 9
mplayer version: CVS

Thanks,

Kevin

I had the same problem. Starting gmplayer in xterm and waiting for the
soon to be G2 release solved it for me.
