 The decoder expects an .mp4 file and does not support weighted prediction for P-frames and CABAC entropy encoding. To create such bitstreams use ffmpeg and x264 with the following command line options:
 
+```
 ffmpeg -y -i sourceFile -r 30000/1001 -b:a 2M -bt 4M -vcodec libx264 -pass 1 -coder 0 -bf 0 -flags -loop -wpredp 0 -an targetFile.mp4
