Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #20 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- Hi Michael, Yes, sorry, I thought that possibly the gstreamer stuff had been integrated into the OSX version of LO as well. Oh well. Out of the box, Quicktime is supposed to support AVI playback, however support is patchy : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1536 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38552 Lion Quicktime codec support is listed here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526?viewlocale=en_EN http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-snow-leopard/how-to-play-avi-with-quicktime-on-mac.html in other words, AVI files that used to be read, no longer are in Lion and Mountain Lion. Note that according to the last article in that list, the solution to install Perian (which works with Snow Leopard) to be able to read AVI is a non-starter for OSX Lion or Mountain Lion. As to OGV and WEBM, these are playable in Firefox or Chrome on OSX without anything further, i.e. they don't rely on the Quicktime backend as far as I can tell. So, I guess that unless LO changes its multimedia backend reliance on Quicktime on OSX, then the situation will only seemingly get worse as Apple restricts it to the only formats it is prepared to support. The irony of the situation is that VLC now has far broader built-in codec support than Quicktime. Sigh. Oh well, better close this then as INVALID, as there is nothing to be done.
