title: MPEG 4 SDK for Windows
body: <p>can anyone recommend a MPEG4 library that will compile(or is compatible) with Intel or Visual C++?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: clarification</p>
  
  <p>I was not aware of x264, and ffmpeg does not compile with VC++ (compiles with MingW). Basically I need a library that can be compiled on Windows (or the name of a vendor) that will allow me to extract frames and metadata embedded in the frames from the following MPEG: ID : 481 (0x1E1) Menu ID: 1 (0x1) Format: MPEG Video version: Version 2 profile: Main@High settings, BVOP: Yes settings, Matrix: Default Bit rate mode: Variable Standard: Component Resolution: 8 bits Colorimetry: 4:2:0 Scan type: Progressive List: 481 (0x1E1) (MPEG Video) / 497 (0x1F1) () KLVA_PID: 497</p>
  
  <p>thank you,
  T</p>
