v0.8.26.5566 was good. I was able to stream copy FLV to MP4 with no problem (lossless without the need to re-encode). The FLVs contain AVC Video and AAC audio so it is compatible with MP4. It was working perfectly. MediaCoder v0.8.26.5566 is excellent for doing that. The MP4s come out perfect with everything in sync and no loss of quality.
However, when I updated to v0.8.27.5570, copying the video and audio to MP4 did not work properly. MediaCoder reported "file successfully transcoded" but when I tried to play the produced MP4, nothing happened. Just a black screen even if I fast forwarded.
When I reverted back to v0.8.26.5566 it worked fine again, the produced MP4s play ok.
Also, when installing v0.8.27.5570 I noticed that it doesn't have the option to download and install in the video components section the extra decoders whereas in v0.8.26.5566 it did.
I tried to help out the developer by notifying him of this problem and submitted a bug report on their forum but got the runaround from Stanley the site Admin who replied: "FLV can't always be stream copied to MP4. You need to transcode as video format is not the same sometimes".
WTF? I already made it perfectly clear that v0.8.26.5566 can stream copy FLV to MP4 but v0.8.27.5570 can't. What the hell transcoding got to do with anything? |
