VLC unable to convert movie
Posted: 29 Dec 2007 19:09
I am wanting to slowly migrate all the movies I have to MPEG4 (AAC/H264), since currently I have a mishmash of different formats. From my experience VLC is not always capable of converting movies that is capable of playing back. In cases like that should I open a bug ticket?
Some examples:
Format: Quicktime movie (from camera) mp4v/ulaw
Result:
Format: WMV WMV3/wma2
Result:
In fact often enough it is the sound that fails to be converted.
EDIT: using 0.8.6c
EDIT: Looks like ffmpeg SVN-r9102 seems to do a better job, so there version included with VLC is probably outdated. Any ideas when vlc will get the latest ffmpeg changes?
