Hi Bjoern, Here are the codecs used in the various container formats.
AVI - MP43, MP3 - didnt work but dont know which container i can put this in MKV - AVC, AAC - didnt work but uses same codecs as MP4 below MP4 - AVC, AAC MPG - MPEGv1, MPEGv1 OGV - Theora, Vorbis WEB - VP8, Vorbis Is there not a reference media player on windows which i can say if it plays there than it should play in LibO.
