[MPlayer-users] mpeg4ip's 'use64bits' files do not play ?

[Martial MICHEL]

	Hello,

	I have been using mpeg4ip 0.9.9 to generate ISO compliant
MPEG-4 files. I first run them with xvidenc to get an ISO compliant
video stream, then mp4creator to encapsulate the video in a 'mov'
compatible MPEG-4. All files created play using 'mp4player' (part of
mpeg4ip). Files generated without using the 'use64bits'
option of mp4ceator can be played by mplayer. But files generated
using the 'use64bits' option of mp4creator can not be played (even for
files under 4GB). mplayer returns with:

It seems that mplayer do not handle 64bits pointers : 
"Warning! pts=6744000 length=-1145716310" ?

Note that I compiled mplayer with '--enable-largefiles' (enable
support for files > 2 GBytes) and that this behavior happens on
'use64bits' files of under 2GB as well (tried on a 200MB generated
file).
