[Mp4-tech] RE: [M4IF Technotes] MPEG-4 SP elementary stream to AVI

[Jacobs Marco (ST-VS/ENG2)]

Dear Olivier and other M4IF list subscribers,
I downloaded the AVgen tool from IBM -- it works well. Using this tool, I can produce an MPEG-4 file (.mp4) that can be played in QT 6.3. However, I am still looking for a tool that can produce an AVI or ASF file, which can be played in the Windows Media Player. This player is much more widespread and is installed on virtually any Windows PC. If anyone has any pointers to tools or software libraries that can be used for such purposes, please forward them to me.
thanks!
