Description

Already available in ffmpeg. However, it will take sometime for them to iron out the bugs and improve the image quality and performance.

  • milestone set to 2.0.

Maybe for 2.0 then in order to give them time. For now Flip4mac seems to work for most wmv needs.

Flip4mac is not a good solution. VLC, which uses ffmpeg for wmv decoding works really nice, but Flip4Mac performs really poor, especially when opening files from network shares:

Flip4Mac only works fine, if it has load the complete file, which takes a lot of time when you open a 500MB file using a WLAN connection. And while you are waiting for some minutes for loading the file, you see a bar on your screen "importing, xy%...". It's really not nice. And if you try to play the file during transfer, even an 1mbps file does not work, while VLC with ffmpeg has no problems with 5mbps files and opens them directly without waiting...

Hope to see it in Quicktime some day!
