BD/HD DVD support, or at least EVOB/VC1/EAC3 support

[ncp]

I think the HD formats are mature enough now to justify support in VLC. From what I understand ffmpeg already supports VC1, and VLC already supports EVOBs that contain MPEG-2 or AVC video, so it wouldn't be difficult to implement EVOB/VC1 support. As for EAC3, I'm not aware of any open source implementation yet, but isn't it mostly just AC3 at a higher bitrate?

E-AC-3 should be done quite quickly (it is included or almost in ffmpeg)
VC1 is almost ok in ffmpeg, and OK in vlc (through dmo if needed)
EVOB/VC1, I don't know yet.

Any sort of time estimate on the EAC3 support for VLC. It's been available for a while now at least as a patch for FFmpeg.

HI folks, not to nag... but, any word on the progress for EAC3 support? I have a .mkv I would like to watch but can't due to the obvious audio issues.

thanks, VLC for the win

When FFMpeg support for EAC3 will be finished, then ask again =)

Every now and then I find E-ac3 in a movie and don't get sound
