The Output File section allows selection of the MPEG-4
file to be generated. The IBM MPEG-4 XMT Batch Converter Tool
supports generating various MPEG-4 file formats.
The following are the supported MPEG-4 file formats:
- MPEG-4 XMT-O high level Textual format.
- MPEG-4 XMT-A low level Textual format.
- Standard MPEG-4 binary files. The standard MPEG-4 file format
is suitable for exchanging MPEG-4 content between authors.
- Hinted MPEG-4 binary files. Hinted MPEG-4 files are suitable
for streaming from RTP/RTSP servers. The hinted MPEG-4 file
is compatible for use with ISMA or 3GPP compliant devices. The
tool supports adding both ISMA compliant media and other popular
media content into a hinted MPEG-4 file. Note: although the
tool allows the addition of other popular media types, other
than just ISMA compliant media, in practice the use of such
content is dependent on having available devices supporting
such additional capabilities beyond the scope that ISMA defines
for compliant interoperability. Check the device specifications
with regards to additional popular media types.
- MVR MPEG-4 and MPEG-4 Multiplex streamable files. MVR MPEG-4
and MPEG-4 Multiplex files are suitable for streaming across the internet
with a standard HTTP server.
The following figure shows the output file section.
The output file section allows selection for the hinted MPEG-4
file. It contains an entry field and browse button. Selecting
the browse button will open a file selection dialog for navigation
to the desired output directory or file.
