Enabling MP4 demuxer in FFmpeg configure command

Question

I want to enable MP4 muxing and demuxing, H264 decoding and MJPEG encoding and disable everything else in FFmpeg configure command.

I know that I can use --disable-everything option and enable the needed components. When I list the demuxers and decoders using --list-demuxers and --list-decoders options, I do not see MP4 demuxer or decoder. I do see MP4 muxer in the muxers list.

What option should I use to enable MP4 demuxer in FFmpeg configure command?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Answer 1

The mov demuxer will demux the mp4. [Its the same demuxer] So you can enable that.

--enable-demuxer=mov

It will demux all of the following: mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 [they are really all very very similar]. See libavformat/mov.c if you want to check it out.
