Movies

Wirecast supports a wide variety of movie formats (MOV, MPEG, AVI, etc).

Sometimes, however, you need to install a "codec" to use these formats. (A very commonly desired one is DivX®).

Wirecast will inform you if a codec is missing or if you need to install one. It is beyond the scope of this documentation to describe all of the possible codecs available on the market today or explain the intricacies of installing each.

Contact the provider of the codec for details on installing for your usage.

Wirecast won't show my movie of type XYZ

Although there's always the chance that Wirecast is at fault, before contacting technical support, please try to open the media with QuickTime player. If QuickTime player cannot open the file, then most likely the codec is not properly installed (or there is no available codec for the media).

If, however, QuickTime Player can play the media but Wirecast cannot, then please contact us using support@telestream.net or our online support form (we may change our support email address to reduce spam).
