The issue with ffmpeg is simply due to licensing. The version in the repository is compiled without mp3 or aac support. If it is recompiled with support of those formats, then everything works.
Although I totally understand why stock ffmpeg is compiled without these licensed formats, it should be more transparent to the end user why transcoded movies in VLC using these formats have no audio. VLC should check if such support is available in the user PC and if not it should at least notify it. Silence, as it is currently the default mode, may trick the user that there is a bug in VLC or ffmpeg, while instead is a "by design" choice. So this remains a bug. VLC should clarify if some formats are not available, or at least the dropdown menus should be disabled. -- No audio output in transcoded movie using VLC (Hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
