And jeez what happened to it anyways? It actually used to be pretty decent back in the 98/XP/7 days :(
Windows media asks you to pay Microsoft for a decoding license if you try to play an HDR video.
I think it does it for hvec too
Looks like your right, included by default:
MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, VC-1, Windows Media Video (WMV), DV, VP8, Motion JPEG
Then they have add-ons in the store, the HEVC I believe said was a dollar to use on 10 devices with that account. that's terrible
I forgot that VLC wasn't standard. 😂 I looked at the other icon and thought "wait what's that?"
Everything is a .wav, you just lack the frequency hearing range.
Back when /dev/dsp existed, you could pipe any data to it, and it'd treat it like PCM data. Wav files sounded like they were supposed to. Everything else sounded like... well, also like they're supposed to, i guess.
That's the logo for a multi-billion dollar corporation's built-in media player for their flagship OS? It looks like one of my side projects.
That logo paid for some kids house.
Had to install VLC last week because the Windows player didn't have the codec to play a video someone sent me from their smartphone. Seems like a pretty common use case to not have figured out..
They make you pay for some codecs, it might have been that.
It was and fuck that if they can't even include the most basic ones
It's licensing bullshit. They refuse to pay the codec license mafia (idk how the organization is called)
Don't care. They have trillions of dollars. They can figure something out.
mpv: those files have some exotic image format, they're not videos. Here is your dia show with your custom upscaling shaders.
I could never get VLC to player videos without weird video issues.
First time I hear of someone having problems opening whatever format in vlc. I mean if there’s a program that reads each an everyone of them it’s VLC
Oh it opens them. Reliable playback is something else entirely.
Are you on linux and are describing this issue where VLC cannot be reopened after exiting without logging out and logging back in?
Windows. And nah it’s more like while playing any given video file there will be moments where it looks as if the video is corrupted or something. Strange video artifacts that affect the entire viewport. The issue isn’t actually in the file, as the spots are random upon playback. These were all h.264 mkv files I had trouble with so maybe the issue was with that codec but at the same time that’s the most common codec used for encoding entertainment media for playback. Moving those files over to an iPhone and playing them with infuse worked flawlessly.
You can rawdog the libavcodec far more robustly via ffplay, vlc def struggles on a decent amount of media still.
I liked the old built in media player in Windows 7...
Yeah me too for the simplicity. THe “new” one is shit
