does wowza support mp4v video?

Wowza Streaming Engine

I put a mp4 file in content folder for vod, but no video displayed (audio has no problem, and the audio and video of sample.mp4 have no problem). Here is the video and audio information of the file (by ffmpeg):

…

Stream #0:0(und): Video: mpeg4 (Simple Profile) (mp4v / 0x7634706D), yuv420p, 720x480 [SAR 1:1 DAR 3:2], 1444 kb/s, 29.98 fps, 29.98 tbr, 3747 tbn, 29.98 tbc (default)

Metadata:

…

Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 11025 Hz, stereo, fltp, 37 kb/s (default)

…

Does wowza not support mp4v format, or I did something wrong? Thanks.

Hi there, it looks like you are using video codec, mpeg-2(simple profile) which is not support.

Wowza supports:

H.264

MPEG-4 Part 10

MPEG-4 AVC

ISO/IEC 14496-10

Which are just are different ways of saying H.264.

That’s right, Wowza supports the mp4v file container, but it needs to have h.264 video codec.

Thanks a lot for your reply, Salvadore. Do you mean mpeg4 (simple profile) is not supported by wowza? or mpeg4 (Simple Profile) (mp4v / 0x7634706D) just means mpeg-2(simple profile)?

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-install-and-configure-wowza-streaming-engine#supportedMedia says that wowza support mp4v, but I don’t know why it failed in my case. My wowza version is 4.0.3.

Thanks,
