[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfilter: Enable in MP4 container both AMR-NB and AMR-WB

[Bob Kirnum]

I tried adding support for MOV to see if I could use unpatched FFmpeg
libraries.  Although both AMR-NB and AMR-WB do appear to record to MOV,
neither result plays properly using QuickTime or Windows 'Movies & TV'
app.  The MOV (H.264 / AMR-NB) sometimes audio plays, sometimes video.
Appears that the MOV contains two moov atoms, one for audio one for video.
Similar is true for AMR-WB, however, there is never audio as QuickTime and
Windows app do not support AMR-WB.

I also tried both MP4 and MOV using linear PCM (s16le @ 16 kHz).  MP4
rejects the codec, MOV seems to have a similar issue as AMR, only video
plays.

I am using the exact same code as we use for MP4 so I am not sure what we
are doing wrong.  Any suggestions for how to debug this?

The recorded files are here . . .
