[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID |--- --- Comment #24 from [email protected] --- This is a regression. It worked in LibreOffice 3.3. MOV and AVI files will open in LibreOffice 3.3 embedded in a Writer document but not in 3.4.x or later. Note that now in LibreOffice 4.0.0 it is impossible to embed a sound file even. You have to link the file to the document. In view of what has already been said about this bug probably a good thing! It is all very well to be able to open video files in VLC or another media player. How is this possible when the file is embedded in an ODF (.odt) document? How do you save an embedded media file in an ODT document? If you copy the file you cannot paste it to the desktop or anywhere else on OS X? There is no Save image as... option on the context menu of a linked/Embedded Sound/Video file as there is for an embedded picture. Note that with a picture there is a "Edit with external tool...' option on the context menu as well. All of this doesn't help someone who has a presentation in Impress with embedded media files that should play on a mac and won't. If they are embedded, at the moment there is no way to liberate them from the document, and that doesn't help someone who has to present using a different mac. Sorry for pointing this out, by the way the development team for LibreOffice is very helpful. Imagine being able to submit bug reports to Microsoft and getting this level of feedback. Thanks again for solving bug 57532, this certainly would not have been possible with MS in such a timely manner! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
