Hi Guys,
I asked this in the vlc mail-list already and was replied that VLC
don't use external libraries like win32codecs. As such, it is not
able to play rmvb (real Media) files and also it's current quicktime
support is broken.
I looked at the ebuild for vlc in gentoo and noticed the win32codecs
USE flag. However, it does not seem to me that it is being honored in
the compilation of VLC.
Doing a configure --help of a VLC source does not have anything which
shows the win32codecs usage.
Has anyone in this list been able to successfully integrate
Win32codecs into VLC and hence be able to play Quicktime/rmvb files?
It is said that some Debian Sid people has managed to integrate it
into their custom compilation. If anyone knows anything, would
appreciate some heads up.
