Impossible to play webm videos with 1.1.0-rc

Postby anthony43 » 20 Jun 2010 01:22

Hello !
I thought that VLC "the luggage"would be able to play webm videos... But I encoded one with ffmpeg with libvpx, and I can not play it back with vlc 1.1.0-rc !
I used both linux and windows versions, and I even tried (without success cause of missing library, live and lua no to mention them) to compile from source for Linux...
I'm so sad :-|
Thanks for your help !
Anthony
PS: I tried playing : those 2 files :

-rc1 predates the first compatible webm release, IIRC.

Hello Rémi !
Thnsks for you answer, but it is not totally clear to me !
You mean that all the rc won't be webm compatible ?
If so, when is due the first compatible relase ?
I'm confused... :roll:

Well, the people who compiled yours RC4 didn't compile it with ffmpeg+libvpx.
Not VLC fault.
