"Adaptive bit rate" isn't an inherent property of a stream or the resulting file. That phrase just means that a player can choose among different bit rate streams in a single playlist based on characteristics of the playback environment. get_iplayer isn't an adaptive "player", so it's a moot issue in this case. Also, the raw DASH files for radio programmes don't use stsz and related tables. The files are fragmented MP4, so the sample information is spread over multiple track fragments. The st* tables are created during re-muxing, and only describe the audio content of the final file. > The next question is how to convert AVC3 to AVC1 or AAC.

One other long shot to try is to remove the MP4 container by remuxing to plain old ADTS AAC. However, I'm guessing that even if that file played you may not be able to seek/ff/rw, so of limited use. You could also feed the raw fragmented MP4 DASH file to your player, but I suspect that is even less likely to be supported. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
