VLC playing MXF media
Posted: 28 May 2014 17:20
Hey guys,
I do video production and editing and I use VLC to playback almost all my video files outside of my editing apps. It works great 99% of the time, but I'm trying to playback some .MXF wrapped professional video files (XDcam EX from a Canon C300 camera) and it will load the file, but playback is black screen. Surely its a codec thing. I have the codecs downloaded and installed from Canon so my other apps can handle the media.
My question: Is there a way to specifically install new codecs for VLC so that I can playback these files, or should it already be giving me playback since the codecs are on the system and I'm dealing with a bug? ok, that was a long sentence... sorry.
