is it possible to encode WMV3 with ffmpeg?

[Martin Mueller]

Good Morning,

i tried to encode with the WMV3-Codec, but its not working. It might
be, because ffmpeg does not support the encoding of wmv3.

Is there an other possibility to get that done?

Thanks, Martin

in general, a good test is to use the ffmpeg command line tool to
transcode to and/or from the codec in question. if the ffmpeg command
line can do it, then xuggler aught to be able to do it.

also check:

com.xuggle.xuggler.ICodec.ID

in this case wmv3 is a listed codec, though i don't remember off the
top of my head if encoding or decoding is supported. you can check by
reading through the java doc on:

com.xuggle.xuggler.IContainerFormat

which has methods to test if specific codecs are available for
encoding or decoding on your system.

if you run into a codec not supported by ffmpeg, then xuggler is not
gonna be able to do it. you could take the issue up with the folks
over at ffmpeg.

Hello Robert, thats what i expected. Its not possible to encode wmv3 with ffmpeg. there is a decoder but no encoder.

it was a try, thanks for your answer.
