RMVB Support

Postby antieshay » 08 Jul 2008 19:20

"VLC's 0.9.0 release will introduce support for RV30 and RV40 based upon the additions to the FFmpeg-library by one their Google Summer of Code 2007 projects."

Anybody knows of the status of this development?

VLC's 0.9.0 is not released yet, so rmvb is not supported right now.

But when will VLC's 0.9.0 be released? Anybody knows?

I just tried the latest nightly build with mplayer Binary Codec Packages.

In XP (P4 mobile 1.6G), rmvb playing is just fine, but with little bit of stutter.
In Vista (Core 2 Duo 1.83G), only audio w/o video.

Just notice that, in the latest build, http port# could not be edited.?? Can't stream over network at all, it said "
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://192.168.1.41'. Check the log for details."

Any comment?

Nightlies can play RMVB file very well. :o

But,I try to use nightlies to transcode and stream RMVB file to UDP multicast,the video is good,but the audio is discontinuous.

Could VLC_HELP tell me why? :?

Thx very much!

if you would look carefully while it playback the video. it is jerky like this, FPS fps fps fps fps "Big frame pause", all bumped up in the first 500 msec every second.
For example you see video that's no smooth at all with scrolling texts in the video in comparison to when is it playback in Media Player Classic. you see the difference.

For the latest nightly build,

In [Ctrl+N] Open Network, Network Protocol HTTP: Only address could be entered, but port was not adjustable.
In [Ctrl+S] Streaming, then [Alt+S] Stream, Stream Output HTTP: both address and port could be changed.

What is the difference between these two places? I could not get the streaming going.

Oh,thanks!I see the difference.But Media Player Classic is based on DirectShow,very different from VLC. :!:

Could anyone else has been transcode the RMVB file?

Best wishs.

Try to use Media Coder to transcode rmvb. It worked for me the couple of times I've used it, but sadly it's windows only.
It is based on mplayer and mencoder, wich are open source tools, so there might be a way of transcoding in other OSs with those tools.

Real Media support is far from perfect. That is why if you find problems that you can replicate, you should open trac tickets (but please search trac before posting).
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/

View (nightlies Tools) -> Messages... gives usually important information about the issue (keep verbosity at 2) that you should attach to reports.

I think rmvb support from v0.90 is OK so far.

The problem is the streaming (HTTP) module, it is not even working for the regular AVI file. I have tried these which worked well with the formal v0.8.6.

rmvb support isn't OK
just by watching a jerky video makes me dizzy
