Since VLC supports many images formats (JPG, PNG, etc), it would be nice if it could support HEIC/HEIF image format (defined as Part 12 within the MPEG-H media suite ISO/IEC 23008-12) as well.

I guess it shouldn't be that hard considering the header is some kind of modified MP4 container (ftypmif1, mif1heic) and the codec being used is HEVC.

AVIF (AV1 in HEIF) would be a good idea too!

Brilliant, it works fine including files containing animations or sequences

Some AVIF files are opening but some other ones don't.

For instance, the Hato AVIF files from this link won't open:

Others sample files can be found there:

Chimera_8bit_cropped_480x256.avif is opening but Chimera-AV1-8bit-1920x1080-6736kbps-354.avif doesn't.

So I downloaded them again as raw.

Chimera-AV1-8bit-1920x1080-6736kbps-354.avif opened only once. Other times it was either the orange VLC cone with a DVD or just nothing, the window didn't even react.
Same goes for hato.profile0.8bpc.yuv420.no-cdef.avif. Others Hato files didn't open at all.

Chimera_10bit_cropped_to_1920x1008_with_HDR_metadata.avif has strange colors.

Other files are opening fine.

I drag and drop the files into VLC window. I'm not closing VLC between each file.

There was an uninitialized value issue revealing on windows.
Fixed in nightlies.

It works now, all of the files, well done
