Recording to MP4/H264

The FlashBack SDK can use OpenH264 to record to MP4/H264 format files instead of FBR format.

To record to H264 encoded video in an MP4 container:

1. Set FBRecorder::OutputFileFormat to 1

2. Set FBRecorder::OpenH264Config to the path of welsenc.cfg and welslayer.cfg. They must be in the same folder. These files are included in the SDK installation.

3. Have your application download the archive at http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/openh264-1.2.0-win32msvc.dll.bz2
   
   Rename the file extracted from the archive to welsenc.dll and copy it to the same folder as your application executable.
   
   If you download the DLL from the above URL, Cisco will be responsible for royalties payable on H264 video generated by your application. If you do not download the DLL but instead include it in your application installation, then you are liable for H264 royalties levied by MPEG LA. Some more about this: http://www.openh264.org/faq.html
    

4. Include these files in the same folder as your application executable (or set the PATH environment variable to point to their folder). They are included in the SDK installation.
