Good News: Native EX1 MP4 Support in VLC possible soon...
 

I have been working to try and get the VLC developers to properly support the raw MP4 files straight off the SxS cards.

Here is the thread on their forums:

It has been input into their development ticket system here:

I assume you/they mean VLC will play both Video and Audio (audio currently not played).

I'm just clarifying that because VLC has very limited (low quality) export/encode features.

Great! Let me know the details so I can get this to the Apple Quicktime people.

The short version is that, yes it should be able to play the files with audio, now only video plays.

The audio FourCC is "twos" (stereo 16-bit LPCM). When the file is muxed into a Matroska (*.mkv) file with mkvtoolnix, it plays back with sound in both VLC 0.8.6h and latest 0.9.0-git nightly without a problem. This indicates that the lack of audio is a bug in the MP4 demuxer code in VLC.

I know the quality of import export isnt great, but I think its good to have an easy way to see things instantly, without having to deal with the Clip Browser (which I think is a horrible program)...


Also, I am sure most people have seen this, but the MP$ files are also directly suppored by ffmpeg (which is apparently the source for the conversion code in Clip Browser...)
