Description
Currently the media format supports are only mp3,aiff, wav and flv (on2 vp6) comparing to what were supported in release prior to 2.0 seems really limited. Are they are plan to add more support in this manner?
Comments
To summarize, the requested formats include: Ogg/{Vorbis,Theora}, flac, matroska (MKV), Opus, VP8, 3GPP, GSM AVI is extremely unlikely to be supported

flac, ogg, mkv

I wish there was Ogg/Vorbis support too, this would open up a lot of possibilities for multi-media development.

Ogg/Vorbis and Theora should be supported too.

It would be also good to add Ogg/Vorbis support. It's free and opensource.

The following issue may be of interest where I've contributed a patch for MKV container support: https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-36398

".avi" and ".mkv" support is necessary for making fruitful media player using javafx

And video codec have progress too on VP8 legal front: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rtcweb/current/msg06631.html

I think Opus (audio) codec would probably be an useful addition to JavaFX, because: - designed as a high-performance royalty-free codec by IETF with help of Mozilla, Skype (Microsoft), Xiph.org, etc. - mandatory for WebRTC standard of W3C/IETF (Skype-like features in browser, with implementations in development by IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera; only Safari is lacking currently). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_%28codec%29 http://opus-codec.org/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/codec/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC NB for implementation: It is supported in GStreamer since 0.10.36.
