Hi,

With Version: 4.2.2.1
Build ID: 3be8cda0bddd8e430d8cda1ebfd581265cca5a0f


LO refuses to insert the sequence into an Impress page, stating that the format is unrecognized.


This is despite the fact that the file displays and is presented fine in the OSX Quicktime player.


Will test later with my 4.3 master build, but I have built LO with VLC support on that, so the results may well be different.

So my master builds from the day before yesterday (14/04), whether built with or without the --enable-vlc switch, no longer enable me to insert any Quicktime supported video file into an Impress slide via (Insert - Image/Video) - I always get the error "unsupported format". This is the case too with the test video file provided in this bug report.
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2014-04-16 16:19:00 UTC
I would mention that my builds are 64bit on OSX 10.9.2.

Confirmed, the movie clip can be inserted, but does not display a preview image.

On OSX 10.9.2, build 64 bit  

Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: bfed8b9c9b76ea8eca7c4938d86b3a6ea6436b6e

I can see the preview of the mp4, but if I launch the slideshow, no video is displayed, merely whitespace. The sound can be heard, however.
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2014-04-28 12:48:37 UTC
LO 64bit build master 4.3 alpha 27/04/2014

Build ID : c6c286f14468d341f5d88edc39a37175a1b6caa

No videos of any kind can be inserted.

which explains why this no longer works in OSX >= 10.9

As far as I can tell from bug 56847 until comment 41 this seems to be a duplicate. Please feel free to change that if you do not share this opinion :)
