Here is the sample video. It can be played in all the video players I have tried. But it can not be loaded into MediaCoder. Besides, I did not preset anything to MC.

It's a WMV file in AVI container...pretty weird. MediaCoder can handle it via Avisinth, with a little script like this:

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("X:\sample.avi")

(install avisynth, create a .txt with the line above, rename it with .avs extension, drag it in MC)

Thanks! It works. Actually it is converted from wmv by using Mencoder without changing the video source. Is it possible to convert to mp4 format without re-encode the video?

Why

Anyway, it shouldn't be possible; as you can see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14
Mp4 doesn't support neither WMV1 nor WMA.
