The VideoLAN Forums

Helle everyone...

For a client who is designing audio for a movie I need to deliver some Quicktime videofiles which were encoded in H264 on my system. Now he is running OSX 10.2.8 and quicktime version 6.5.3. He does not like upgrading his OS and quicktime version.

To come to my question. What if I send him my files together with a copy of videolan (version 0.8.4a that is), will he be able to play those? Does videolan depend on an installed quicktime for its H264 component or does it come with its own? If yes, was it included in 0.8.4a (the last one to run on 10.2.x)?

Thanks so much for answering people!

Yes, it should . VLC depends on his own codecs and 0.8.4a cn decode H264. Not as well as 0.8.6a, but enough.

thanks! Such a relief

You should note though, that 10.2.8 runs on pretty Macs only right now, so the Mac may be too slow to play larger (more than DVD-sized) H.264 files. Even regular DVD-size (720* or 704*576) may be too big already.
