Did my email yesterday help to clear up some of the confusion? In a nutshell, it sounds like there are two frameworks supported in OS X 10.9: - QuickTime (deprecated) - AVFoundation After the commits by Herbert and Tor, I believe that LibreOffice can use either framework (defaulting to QuickTime, and falling back to AVFoundation). The problem is that as of right now, there's no documentation for adding 3rd party codecs to AVFoundation, so while QuickTime should work for now (This needs more testing), our path forward is unclear. > Is it worth including links to the official lists of containers / codecs > supported by each media framework?
