ffmpeg supports wmv3 but VLC doesn't?

Hi,

The version of ffmpeg I have installed supports decoding of WMV3, as I see it when I run 'ffmpeg -formats'

However VLC can't find a decoder for wmv3.

I'm running VLC 0.8.4a on linux from livna.org

Is this a matter of upgrading VLC, or how else can I make use of ffmpeg's wmv3 decoder in VLC?

Thanks
Ricardo

you can try 0.8.6-test that would be available (we hope) in this weekend

Well, wmv3 is very new in ffmpeg...

And 0.8.4a is very old.

But 0.8.6, the next version, the one you may want to use does decode wmv3...

The trunk has it also.

Thanks very much.

In rpm format I think the latest available for unix is 0.8.4a ?

How do I get version 0.8.6? I thought the videolan website only shows 0.8.5

1/ Wait
2/ Compile your own
3/ ask jpsaman a version...

What is your distribution ?

I'm on Fedora Core 5

I could compile my own, although I don't see where I can download 0.8.6.

Thanks
Ricardo

0.8.6 is not yet out.

Ok thanks.

But is there a beta version or something, that I can download and compile myself that supports it?
