Title: Video Codec Wvc1.
Post by: webba2000 on April 23, 2008, 05:49:00 AM

Is that coded supported?

I can see here:

http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_Features_...video_playback:

that VC-1 is supported. I was wondering why the advanced one is not and if it will be supported soon.
Thank you.


WVC1, also known as Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile, implements a more recent and fully compliant Advanced Profile of the VC-1 codec standard. It offers support for interlaced content and is transport independent. With the previous version of the Windows Media Video 9 Series codec, users could deliver progressive content at data rates as low as one-third that of the MPEG-2 codec and still get equivalent or comparable quality to MPEG-2. The Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile codec also offers this same improvement in encoding efficiency with interlaced contents. A decoder for WVC1 is included in Windows Media Player 11, which is bundled with Windows Vista and is available as a download for Windows XP.

Wouldn't it just be easier to try playing such a file, then to make a forum post and wait for replies?

The list of codecs in the manual is incomplete.
