[Libreoffice-qa] Presentation Video Bug - Need Dev/QA Feedback

[Jay Philips]

Hi Bjoern,

Here are the codecs used in the various container formats.

AVI - MP43, MP3 - didnt work but dont know which container i can put this in
MKV - AVC, AAC - didnt work but uses same codecs as MP4 below
MP4 - AVC, AAC
MPG - MPEGv1, MPEGv1
OGV - Theora, Vorbis
WEB - VP8, Vorbis

Is there not a reference media player on windows which i can say if it
plays there than it should play in LibO.

Regards,
Jay Philips
