CONFIGURATION FILE

       When launched for the first time, MP4Client will ask for a  font  directory  and  a  cache
       directory.

       Font Directory
              Indicates  the  absolute path to a directory containing a TrueType font repository.
              In case this directory is not specified or does not contain valid  TrueType  fonts,
              text will be disabled.

       Cache Directory
              Indicates  the  absolute  path  to  a  directory  with  write access to store files
              retrieved through HTTP downloads. In case this directory is not specified or has no
              write access HTTP downloads won't work.

NAVIGATION

       Navigation  with  MP4Client  depends on the renderer type (2D or 3D) and also on content -
       some content may disable user selectable navigation.

VISUAL EXTRACTION OPTIONS

       When  used  to  dump  a visual presentation, the client is no longer interactive. All GPAC
       features are supported during capture, except audio-related ones.  The  following  options
       can be passed at prompt:

       -bmp [times]
              dumps  the specified frames to BMP format. If no time is specified, capture is made
              at t=0s. time is given in millisecond, as an SMPTE time code or as HH:MM:SS:MS time
              code.  You  may specify several frame times by using a dash-separated list of times
              (eg, '0-10-15').

       -raw [times]
              dumps the specified frames to RAW format. If no time is specified, cpature is  made
              at t=0s.

       -avi start:end
              dumps the specified segment to uncompressed AVI format.

       -fps rate
              specifies frame rate for AVI dumping. Default frame rate is 25.0.

       -size WxH
              specifies frame size for dumping. Default frame size is the scene size.

       -fill  uses  fill  aspect  ratio.  By  default,  the  scene aspect ratio is preserved when
              dumping.

       -show  show window while dumping the content. By default,  the  window  is  hidden  during
              capture.

       -2d    forces  usage  of 2D renderer. By default, MP4Client uses the renderer indicated in
              GPAC configuration file.

       -3d    forces usage of 3D renderer. By default, MP4Client uses the renderer  indicated  in
              GPAC configuration file.

       -quiet removes script message, buffering and downloading status.
