Embedded subtitle track from MP4 file

I've been pulling my hair out over this for a few days now.. lots of the documentation "hints" that this is possible but i am so far unable to achieve it.
Is it possible to read an embedded subtitle track from a MP4 file using OSMF?

Thanks Jim
I figured that would work but for some reason the resulting files did not play correctly--Alternatively I used Mpegstreamclip -opened the video I wanted to erase audio track from--- clicked on "edit--delete audio track" then clicked "save as" and this finally accomplished what I was trying to do--Now have a copy of the .mp4 file wo audio
Thanks for all your help--Hope this thread helps someone in the future
Peace

  • Is there an easy way to remove audio track from .mp4

    Guys
    Wondered if anybody knows of a way to take a .mp4 file with a silent audio track exported and remove that audio track altogether without having to reconvert the video in AME- just deleting the (silent) audio track
    Have lots of files that need this and was looking for a way to do this without going back and reexporting  all the clips the hard way
    Any thoughts much appreciated-- (I have access to both Windows 7 and WIndows XP pro 64 bit)
    Thanks

  • Live streaming from mp4 file

    Hello everybody,
    I know that's a noob question (as I am) but i can't make it run.
    I have an mp4 file and the folders structure is....
    Application/test/sources/_definst_
    in _definst_ source.mp4
    in test folder main.asc file
    main.asc file contains
    var mystream;
    var intervalID;
    application.onAppStart = function(){
    mystream = Stream.get("mylive");
    intervalID = setInterval(startPublish,100); / checking every 100 ms if we can start publish
    function startPublish(){
    if(checkTime() == true){
    clearInterval(intervalID ); //clearing the interval so that startPublish won't be called again
    myStream.play("mp4:sample.mp4",0,-1,true) //starting the live publish of recorded file sample.mp4
    function checkTime(){
    myDate = new Date();
    if(myDate.getHours() == 21) // This means its 2 PM
    return true;
    else
    return false;
    All this stuff doesn't work. When I go to the admin panel and select test under new instance the stream appears on the left side but if press enter on _definst_ it disappears from the column.
    What's wrong?
    Is possible with this code run that video on ios devices?
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    By default the FMS looks for the media under <application>/streams/_definst_/ and not sources/_definst_/. In case you want to specify the media location then copy the Application.xml from the vod sample application and edit the Streams tag. For eg :
    <StreamManager>
                        <VirtualDirectory>
          <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.   --> 
           <Streams>/;<root_install>/applications/vod/sources/_definst_/</Streams>    
                        </VirtualDirectory>
    </StreamManager>
    This should solve your problem. The main.asc is fine.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

    I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:
    OS:WindowsXPProx64Bit; CPU:IntelCore2Quad Q9650; RAM:4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 Kingston; HDD:3x500GB WestrnDigital Caviar Green; VGA: Sparkle GeForce 9400GT 512MB.
    I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWR5MNYHhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
    The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
    I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
    I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
    I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
    No problems with playback.
    Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
    Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
    I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
    I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
    After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
    1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
    2) Is this a transcoding problem?
    3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
    This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
    Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
    Please response me hurry!
    Many Thanks!
    Horsepower.

    OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
    But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
    I know this model very well!
    It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
    This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
    It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
    It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
    See those details:

    The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
    (6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
    I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:

  • Dolby Digital or AC-3 from MP4 files

    I have MP4 files which I have made that have one stereo soundtrack and one Dolby Digital soundtrack. Is there any kind of plugin so that the latter can be played by Quicktime?
    I have tried VLC as an alternate player. The AC-3 soundtrack does not lock this app up (as it does with Quicktime), but VLC will not play it in surround, either.
    I've tried this with my iMacG5, my iBook G4, and my new Mac Mini. I'm using an M-Audio Transit with the Mini. It works fine for AC-3 from DVD Player but not with MP4 files with pass thru AC-3.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for any other "super tight" video encoding that will preserve multi-channel sound? (My understanding is that H.264 only supports 2 channel sound.)
    Thanks.

    In the Properties for: Built-in Output under "Audio Output" on the right I have:
    Source: Digital Out
    Format: 48000.0 Hz 2ch-24bit
    Is that OK or should I change it to something else?

  • Incompatible audio from MP4 file

    I have several business partners that are supplying me with .mp4 files from Adobe live flash media encoder, using the h.264 codec, but the only audio choice is for an MP3  codec. this combination displays/plays no audio in Premiere Pro CS5. Only after I use handbrake to convert the audio to the  AAC codec with it play in the Timeline.The upgrade to the main concept plug-in for AFMLE will allow for this, but the business partners are reluctant to spend the $
    Question: is CS6 compatible with the default of FMLE with h.264 and the .mp3 audio? if so I will upgrade.
    anyone else see this issue when using .MP4 files?

    You can always install the trial and see for yourself.

  • Audio track of *.mp4 file after import to imovie 09 asynchronous

    I've got a *.mp4 file of about 90 min. Picture and audio are synchronous.
    After I imported the file to imovie 09 the picture is more and more delayed.
    Why an how to fix?

    I have that camera and I can't get it to work with iMovie '08 or iMovie '09. I'm seeing an empty event just like you.
    How did you get it to work with iMovie '08?

  • Remove sound from mp4 file?

    I want to remove all the sound from a video that is in mp4 format. How do I do this?

    How to read each "word" in the input file?Well, you'll need to "tokenize" the file as your reading it in. Look at the API docs for java.io.StreamTokenizer and see if that's appropriate for your application. If not, you can simple read the data in character by character and have some logic that decides what is a word...

  • No audio track from .mts file created with panasonic camcorder

    I am running windows 7 and adobe premiere 6.  I have a few .mts files recorded using a panasonic hmc camcorder.  These videos played fine with sound on the computer. But once they are imported into premiere, there is no audio, in fact the track is missing.  Does premiere not support .mts files? Is there a way to convert them into a format supported by premiere?

    Is the audio recorded as multi-channel?  Is it PCM or Dolby?  Try importing clips from the camera that have stereo audio.  If it turns out that multi-channel audio is the problem, load the clip into Audition (if you have it) and process it there.  If you don't have Audition you could try the open-source program Audacity, but I don't know how well or even if it supports multi-channel audio.

  • Adobe Media Player encoding F4V from MP4 file

    I have been encoding with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 and exporting f4v files. I understand the settings pretty well and have been successful with the process until someone sent me an mpeg4 video. When I bring into Adobe Media Encoder CS4 it will not recognize the video, but it will encode the Audio.
    My research shows that unless the Mpeg4 video is from a Camcorder it may not import.
    Is that Correct?
    I do not have the source for these Mpeg4 files, might it be some contatiner Issue?
    Anyway around this besides having to import to FCP or Quicktime Pro to export as a .mov file?
    If I do import into FCP or Quicktime Pro, wont that decrease the quality?
    Thanks, Bruce

    I having the same issue. 
    Any insight on a solution?

  • IMovie HD doesn't recognize sound track from MPEG1 files

    My camera creates MPEG1 files which IMovie HD doesn't recognize the sound track. The Apple Store tech told me to purchase Quicktime Pro & save my files as MPEG4. After doing so IMovie finds no audio source.
    Also I tried to reinstall IMovie (not HD) which worked fine, but it won't reinstall.
    What to do?

    no, QT can not 'demuxx' ...
    and avoid re-installs, MacOsX is not Windows.. ;))
    simply download and use for free

    open your mpeg1, choose 'dv stream' as export option.. done.

  • Why won't .mp4 file open in QT 10.0 (or iMovie'09) and OS 10.6.8?

    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2). 
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.  Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).  Thanks.

    Wow! A lot of ifs, ands, and maybes here.
    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    To start off with, these messages and/or inability to opent/import files could stem from either security updates that see something in the file that it interprets as a possible breach of file integrity or the inclusion of data not expected in the associated file type while missing codecs are either identified and load but do not display or refuse to load but issue a message to that effect and possibly asking if you want to visit a web page containing codes you may want to add.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2).
    In the future, could you be more specific when describing the file contents. For the moment, I will assume the video is H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) and the audio is AAC (MPEG-4) audio and not MPEG-1 layered audio. (I.e., while the former is to be expected with the MP4 file extension, some apps can "stuff" incompatible data into an MP4 container or users can manually change the file extemsion.) It also important to know if the "subtitle" track is embedded within the file or is contained in a separate file. (I.e., a screen capture of the media "info", "inspector", or "properties" window is usually the least ambiguous way to track content information.) It would also be nice to know if the VLC frame rate is for progressive or interlaced video if possible.
    Basically, some apps are very touchy about file extensions and track content. iMovie '08, for instance, will not open a file containing extraneous tracks like 'tween, text, chapter, etc. embedded within the file. I assume this may also be true for "subtitle" tracks as far as your Snow Leopard players are concerned. In any case, if your version of the QT 7 player is keyed for "pro" use, I would perform a simple test here by deleting the "subtitle" track, saving the file, and then re-trying to load, open, play, and/or import the file in the various applications currently giving you problems. If this fixes the problem, then you will know the source and solution of your problem
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    The indiscriminant installation of additional codecs often creates more problems than it solves owing to the logrithmic increased potential for the introduction of QT codec component conflicts. The normal "rule of thumb" here is to identify a missing codec and to then install only that specific codec component. Even then, there is a possibility that there may be a conflict but at least it is more easily identified so you can better evaluate which of the conflicting codecs to leave installed and which to swap only when needed/required. As to the use of MPEG Streamclip, it basically uses your system's QT component configuration of access of most codecs as opposed to VLC and HandBrake which contain their own, built-in codec support. So if QT is having a problem, it is often likely that MPEG Streamclip will also have problems.
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    The HandBrake workflow forces a recompressing of the file data which is why it takse so long. That is why I suggested you try deleting any extraneous data tracks found in the source MP4 file container using QT 7 Pro and then use the "Save" or "Save As..." option to re-write the original audio and video data to a new MOV file container which takes much less time.
    Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).
    Probably not. The VLC reported data rate may either indicate the MP4 content is AVCHD/BD sourced or it is reading interlaced content as progressive which I have noted it can do on occasion when I compare the media info as read by various different apps and/or utilities. Since you indicate the file opens in Mountain Lion, my guess would be that your MP4 content is actually AVCHD/BD sourced since such support was only recently added to Mac OS X v10.8 software. As to moving up to Mountain Lion, as always, that is something you would have to evaluate for yourself. For instance, do you require PNG compression for video content? By default you would lose it under Mountain Lion and have to re-enable it manually if needed. Are there other pros and cons that you need to consider before upgrading to Mountain Lion? These are the types of questions and compatibility issues that only you can answer for yourself.

  • Will iTunes or QuickTime Player let you burn an mp4 file onto an audio CD?

    I want to burn some MP4 videos (i.e., the audio portion only)  onto audio CDs; I guess that would mean converting to .aiff files, right?
    Can this be done in either iTunes 10.6.1 or QuickTime Player 10.0? I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac mini, if that makes any difference.
    Or do I have to find some third party software to do the conversion and then burn the CDs?
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

    I want to burn some MP4 videos (i.e., the audio portion only)  onto audio CDs; I guess that would mean converting to .aiff files, right?
    Depends on how you plan to play them back. AIFF can be played on almost any commercial audio CD player. MP3 files can be played on most current CD players. Apple Lossless or AAC could be used if playback is through your computer. The choice is really yours.
    Can this be done in either iTunes 10.6.1 or QuickTime Player 10.0? I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac mini, if that makes any difference.
    Yes, but the work flow may be different depending on which software and audio compression format you use. E.G., QT 7 Pro could extract the MP4's AAC audio track directly to an new file without conversion if AAC is your target format. As previously mentioned, QT X could be use to recompress the MP4 to an audio only AAC file. The free MPEG Streamclip or QT 7 Pro apps could be used to convert the MP4's AAC directly AIFF files. Converted or extracted AAC files could be added to your iTunes library where iTunes could create and burn a "Playlist" of such files to CD using AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3, or WAV compression formats dependin on your playback requirements. (Unfortunately, iTunes will not directly extract and reprocess/burn the AAC audio directly from MP4 files already in its library.

  • FCPX export: Mutliple video tracks in MP4!?

    Hello
    I noticed something strange today. FCPX sometimes integrates two video tracks in MP4-Files when exporting. Can anybody explain why this happens?
    I exported a bunch of MP4s with different lengths out of FCPX using "Share for Apple Devices 720p". (Same settings for every file: 1280x720px, Format: Computer, Quick Conversion)
    Then I tried to import them in Compressor. Some worked, some didn't. So I started to have a closer look at them, trying to find the differences.

    So the working files contained one AVC-Video track, while the others contained an AVC- and a JPEG-track.
    Anybody knows, how this happens?
    I do have some chapter markers set in the timeline of most of the videos and include the markers in the export but as far as I have seen, that didn't make a difference...

  • Metadata in video (mp4) files

    I just converted 14 years of DV Video-Material to mp4 clips using handbrake and imported the clips in a newly created LR3 catalogue.
    So far so good. After tagging the clips with keywords and descriptions I tried to save the metadata into the clips and here the proble starts.
    As far as I know mp4 files are capable to carry metadata. When I use itunes or other programs like SimpleMovieX I can save and read metatdata directly from mp4 files. But in LR3 none of this data is displayed when I try to import a mp4 file already containing metadata or when I try to read metadata from an already imported file. It seems like LR3 is solely managing this kind of information in its database and there is no data interchange between the metadata section of the mp4 files and LR3. My expectation was obviously different.
    Does anybody made similar experiences?

    I think that is correct.
