What video formats can Miro play?
Video playback works differently in the Mac and Windows versions of Miro, so the files that they can play vary to some extent.
Windows: The Windows version of Miro embeds VLC to play videos. This will play Windows Media, Quicktime, MPEG 1, 2, 4, H264, AVI, DivX, XviD, Flash, OGM, and lots more. You can see a full chart of what VLC can play right here.
Mac: The Mac version of Miro uses Quicktime 7, which is built into the operating system, to play video. In addition, we use plugins for Quicktime that allow us to play even more video types. The Mac version can play MPEG, MP4, MOV, H264, Flash, Xvid, AVI, OGG, and more. Also, there is a free extension for OS X that will play Windows Media files seamlessly. We strongly suggest that you download it.
Linux: Linux: The Linux version of Miro uses GStreamer or Xine to play videos. Xine supports: MPEG 1/2/4, DivX 3/4/5, Windows Media 7/8, QuickTime, Theora, and more. You can see the full list of what Xine can play right here. GStreamer has varying levels of support: Theora and AVI are well-supported; MPEG 1 is supported but has licensing issues; AAC and H.264 are not well-supported. See GStreamer for more information.
We strongly believe that format wars among commercial entities have been a huge stumbling block to advancing internet video. The best way out of the "format wars" is to support as many formats as possible and users shouldn't have to think about formats at all. We will be adding support on a continuing basis for AVIs, Flash, Real, and Windows Media.
In terms of open-source, patent-unencumbered codecs like Theora, our goal is to support them as soon as we can, and once open-source media players and publishing tools get a bit more solid and commonplace to nudge publishers to use them. Download & Installation.
