Does anyone know whether the (any?) media framework provides container support or does a related codec handle both the container AND audio/video streams? I ask because I am worried that having tables on the Media Support page with entries like: File format: MP4 [MP4V/AAC] Video plays?: YES ... is tending toward simplification, particularly in relation to container formats. Unless the audio/video stream encoding in a particular AVI/MPEG/MP4/MKV/etc is known it is difficult to tell if a container format is going to play or not. Some container formats support quite a few different stream encodings (one per stream per file). If the media framework version (e.g., DirectShow included with XP/Vista/7/8) also affects this, then the picture becomes very complicated very quickly (with Apple less so b/c they just seem to drop support for old stuff ;-). Dropping old gstreamer versions is also proving difficult due to a desire to support a wide variety of GNU/Linux versions: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82359 Presumably this affects what containers and stream encodings are supported? Happy to hear what others have to say and whether or not I have gone barking mad. ----- Best wishes, Owen. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-Media-Support-in-LibreOffice-tp4119905p4120594.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
