It seems important to me because : - VP9 is already supported on Trusty with Totem (gstreamer), Firefox (default version bundled with Trusty), VLC and probably other software - VP9 will probably quickly replace VP8 as the best free/open-source video codec - Trusty is an LTS version : I think that being able to transcode videos in VP9 with it is important - The version of libvpx is already ok (but maybe I missed something and it's more difficult than I would hope?)

Or maybe I missed something? Based on http://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=commit;h=9aa053ceded5550b2e538578af383fd89d82364c , VP9 is available in libvpx since version 1.3.0 , which is the version libav is built with : http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libvpx1 VP9 is also mentioned in the changelog of the libvpx1 package : http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/libv/libvpx/libvpx_1.3.0-2/changelog Same issue when trying to read a file with VP9 codec. I tried with http://base-n.de/webm/out9.webm "avplay out9.webm" gives : [matroska,webm @ 0x7f1a80005be0] Unknown/unsupported AVCodecID V_VP9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1296378/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
