AVC/h.264

[mike1328]

Are there any plans to add the new AVC/h.264 codecs to VLC? I really enjoy playing files with VLC but it dosn't seam to handle this new format.

It does in the nightly builds.

...it should be usable in the stable 0.8.1 release as well

Hi Felix,
Wow ! I don't know that 8.1 release has h.264 module.
Can you tell me how to use the h.264 on 8.1 release ?
Thanks,

Eric

There doesn't seem to be any problems in playing .avi files that use h.264. But is there any reason why I can play .mkv files that are h.264?

[robUx4]

In nightly builds, yes. In 0.8.1 no, there was a bug.

Hi all,
I was downloading vlc-snapshot-20050329 to test the h.264 in vlc.
After doing ./congifure, I run make, but I find these errors below:

Forgot to note:
I downloaded the sourcecode from http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/snapshots/
and I am using Linux 9.

I built VLC release 0.8.1 without any errors, but when I try to build VLC snapshot I got those errors.

Can someone help me please ?

I use ./configure --disable-smb and it skips the libaccess-smb-plugins error. However, now I am getting stuck wxwindow errors when I am using : --enable-wxwindow.

Can anyone tell me what is the recommended option I have to enable if I want to try h.264 streaming using vlc ?

Thanks again,

Eric

I use ./configure --disable-smb and it skips the libaccess-smb-plugins error. However, now I am getting stuck wxwindow errors when I am using : --enable-wxwindow.

Could you be a bit precise which errors you get? Additionally, make sure that you are using WxWidgets 2.5.x or higher including its development headers.

Thanks Fkuehne, I change to vlc-trunk, and there is no problem.
