Personally, I'd like to have the call during M-F, as I'm often at conferences or other events during the weekend, and sometimes have that time off.

AVI playback on QT depends on the particular codec used to create the AVI, Apple was never very good at supporting this format and most don't work. Hmm. We should definitely choose some test media from archive.org and use that for consistency in our tests. At present, the video codecs for which support was removed by Apple in QuickTime 10.3 are converted on the fly to Apple's current H264 codec. I'm not sure what you mean: Are you suggesting that OS X/QuickTime 10.3 is doing on-the-fly transcoding of some content? If a user wants read/export support for codecs that were previously supported by Apple, then they can still download QuickTime 7 (for the moment at least, but that'll be pulled soon enough no doubt). If QuickTime 7 is EOL, or is only available on versions of OSX that we are moving away from, then let's ignore that. Any other formats require add-ons, either like the ones you mention for QuickTime, or else separate programs. Perian, despite development and support having stopped, is still reported as working on 10.9 I use Flip4Mac or FlipPlayer for WMV video stuff that QuickTime can't/couldn't handle. I also have VLC and MPlayerX. So Perian still might be an option for some users? That's actually very useful. If Perian is indeed still compatible with modern builds of OS X, then that might be our best option to promote for audio/video playback inside LO. Have you tested that at all? AFAIK neither installing VLC nor installing MPlayerX will add codec support to QuickTime, correct? Obviously, if there is no support in QuickTime for the video format you want to play in LO, then you are stuck, because you won't even be able to insert the file, let alone play it back if someone else has given you a file with an unsupported video codec in it. The same goes in general for the audio codec support. To clarify, you're suggesting that one will only be able to insert an audio/video file if the container format is supported by QuickTime, right? For example, you did a test on OX X 10.9.3 with LO 4.4.0.0 (master) of WebM, and able to insert, preview, and get sound playback. That suggests that your QuickTime (and any added Components) supports - MKV container - Vorbis codec But probably doesn't support - VP8 video codec Best, --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation Volunteer Coordinator - LibreOffice Community Outreach qu...@libreoffice.org ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

Correct, they each load their own codec interpretation libraries.

I am waiting for a new build to complete that no longer uses that switch to see whether Michael Meeks' comments on my bug issue alter the results of my tests.

When I then cycle through the rows of subform A, the added data in subform B appears when it should. So, I believe that someone has solved the problem using this master build or later.
