MPEG-4 Demultiplexer Filter (Compact 7)

  • Article

3/12/2014

The MPEG4 Demultiplexer filter is part of the process for streaming MPEG-4 content. This is a pull mode filter that requests data from an upstream buffering filter and pushes the demultiplexed streams to down-level decoders. This filter parses MPEG-4 presentation streams for local file playback and streaming over HTTP. There is one input pin and one or more output pins depending on the number of streaming tracks present in the media. For example, in addition to the video output pin, there may be additional output pins for multiple audio tracks.

The following table shows the filter properties.
