Research direction

The issue points to mp4parse::track and a linked H.264 conversion example; start there to locate how track metadata is exposed. Done means avcc parsing is supported and SPS/PPS NAL data can be extracted from mp4parse::track for the described MP4-to-H.264 flow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

Does this library now support parsing avcc box?

I wrote some code to convert the MP4 (H264) file into a H264 stream file.

Since the avcc box parsing is not currently supported,
I cannot extract SPS NAL and PPS NAL from mp4parse::track.

Code: https://gist.github.com/LuoZijun/3e727fd5d337e2e780ba7d68c7bef618#file-mp4_video_samples_to_h264-rs-L259

Raw H.264 Stream:

SEI NAL | SPS NAL | PPS NAL | IDR NAL ....
