How can I play raw audio/video tracks extracted from mp4?

I used mp4creator -extract to get the raw audio and video tracks from an mp4 file. What players can I use to play the raw tracks?

VLC will play most raw video and audio formats.

It worked for the audio track, but not for the video... – Pierre-Antoine LaFayette – 2010-06-16T17:33:37.283

What type of video is the video track? – heavyd – 2010-06-16T17:47:28.000

H264 Baseline@2.1, 150.250 secs, 482 kbps, 480x270 @ 29.970050 fps – Pierre-Antoine LaFayette – 2010-06-16T17:54:38.950

Hmm.. I use VLC to play raw H.264 video all the time. Check the messages window for any clues why its not working. Perhaps you are missing the SPS and/or PPS headers. – heavyd – 2010-06-16T18:50:41.207

@Pierre-Antoine LaFayette VLC often has to rely on heuristics to guess the type of raw codec in the file. Having a different file extension could completely change whether or not VLC can play the file. I suggest .h264 for your case. – Silveri – 2013-12-04T14:26:48.293

From moitah.net, under description for its FLV Extract:

H.264 elementary streams are not widely supported by players, but you can use DGAVCDec to load them with AviSynth for editing.
