As VLC only supports audio in WMV9, and WMV9 is such a share of WMV,
this is quite misleading. (This is of course without w32codecs, but
AFAIK it's not even possible to use the binary vlc package with
w32codecs.)
Actually VLC does play WMV3 video (aka Windows Media Video 9), thanks
to ffmpeg's libavcodec (>= 0.cvs20060823-1). If your videos don't play,
then maybe your libavcodec packages weren't up to date. Or there's
another problem.
Regards,
Sorry for the report. You are right that vlc can play WMV3. I believed
that vlc couldn't play WMV3 when I sent this report, but discovered
later that it is supported. What is missing for a complete Windows Media
Video 9 support is video support of MSS2. There are other versions of
Windows Media Video 9 than WMV3 and MSS2 (as can be seen on Wikipedia),
but I don't remember seeing any. What confused me is that I used only 2
screencasts from different providers to test, and those didn't play
video as they were MSS2.
I have no statistics on the share of MSS2, but this bug must be really
minor.
