If you open the final MP4 movie with QuickTime, does it say the data size is 0? If no, the movie cannot be edited or exported any further. And that’s the problem that I’m facing now.

Of course. Thanks very much for this. Me, I just had a baby. So I know about putting things on the back burner!

Thanks all for the replies. Your requests and comments are not ignored, I’m just a bit short on time at the moment. It’s all on my TODO list.

The version 0.4.5 used for YAMB seems to have no problem with the 2gb filesize limit. Can you compile the 0.4.5 version? Otherwise, it just says that the movie is not a valid file if it is over 2gb.

It seems like “–warn-common” has been named “-warn_commons” in the version of ld bundled. A quick edit in the configure-file fixed it.

Adding something like this to your patch should do the trick:
diff -ur gpac.original/configure gpac/configure

However, using fully updated Leopard with Xcode 3.1 it still seems to crash, but now at:
drawable.c: In function ‘drawable_check_focus_highlight’:
drawable.c:770: warning: implicit declaration of function ’svg_get_nodes_bounds’

I’ve neither time nor knowledge to look further into this but I hope I was of some assistance.

@serversurfer I’ll look into it ASAP

I’m getting an error when compiling.

ld: unknown option: –warn-common
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libgpac.dylib] Error 1
### execution of make failed, exit code 2

Googling reveals that the option should be “-warn-common” but I don’t know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Installation does not work. I put mp4box.info and mp4box.patch in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo as told. Running fink install mp4box gives an error

Failed: no package found for specification ‘mp4box’!

Is there anything else to do to make fink recognize the package?

Thanks.

P.S.: What about a binary version?
