I create a simple direct show source filter using FFmpeg.I read rtp packets from RTSP source and give them to decoder. It works for h264 stream.
MyRtspSourceFilter[H264 Stream] ---> h264 Decoder --> Video Renderer
The bad news is that it does not work for MPEG-4. I can able to connect my rtsp source filter with MPEG-Decoder. I got no exception but video renderer does not show anything. Actually just show one frame then nothing [just stop]... Decoders and Renderers are 3rd party so i can not debug them.
MyRtspSourceFilter[MP4 Stream] ---> MPEG-4 Decoder --> Video Renderer
I can able to get rtp packets from MPEG-4 RTSP Source using FFmpeg sucessfully.There is no problem with it.
It seems that i have not set something(?) in my Rtsps Source Filter which is not necessary for H264 stream but may be important for MPEG-4 stream
What may cause this h264 stream and MPEG-4 stream difference in a direct show rtsp source filter? Any ideas.
More Info:
-- First i try some other rtsp source filters for MPEG-4 Stream...Although my rtsp source is same i see different subtypes in their pin connections.
-- Secondly i realy get suspicious if the source is really MPEG-4 SO i check with FFmpeg...FFmpeg gives the source codec id as "CODEC_ID_MPEG4".
Update: [ Hack ]
I just set m_bmpInfo.biCompression = DWORD('xvid') it just worked fine...But it is static. How to dynamically get/determine this value using ffmpeg or other ways...

code for each reassembled frame before you send it to decoder? Are your media sample timings correct? – Cipi
