FIXED: Can't get G.726 file to play in VLC
Posted: 25 Jun 2009 11:24
Hi,
I have an 8kHz WAV file encoded as G.726 mono 32kb/s. Windows Media Player can play the file using the "Sharp G.726 Audio Codec". If I try to play the same file in VLC using the GUI and Media->Open File... I get "wav error: unsupported codec (g726)". I've tried various combinations of VLC versions on various operating systems but the message window gives pretty much the same output in all versions. Here's a snip of the output from 1.0.0-rc:
Any ideas what's going wrong?
