msn codec support

[majinsoftware]

Would it be posable for you to add the msn codec to vlc so that i can play my webcam logs back and transcode them with vlc instead having to use amsn to play them back.

I can provide the source for the codec which is written in C

Please provide the sourcecode if it is legal.

... and make sure that it licensed in a GPL-compatible way.

Could you also upload some samples ? (i might try to add support for this if i have time ... so i need something to test it on)

Hi, I thought id just say I would love to see this feature and I would donate to your project if you accept donations to see this feature implemented....

I really would like to see vlc able to play the .cam codec. aMsn uses this strange codec that nothing can open, and users cannot fast forward, skip ahead or anything of the sort. Please consider this project. Thank you.

Hey, I'd just like to say that this would be an awesome feature for VLC, and it'd be really appreciated if you guys could look into supporting it in a future release .

[Niomi]

Would like to add my support for this feature.

It would be great if .cam support was added to VLC indeed!

Hate to bump an ancient thread, but the file isn't a weird codec, it's a normal codec, it's a weird container. It's basically just all of the video files concatenated together into one blob, with a separate file externally to tell aMSN where to cut the files. There is likely also garbage on either side of each video in the blob.
