| − | It is really based on 1.1.2, not 1.2 sadly. So while very good and still fitting, it doesn't show the latest features until someone creates a new trailer. Are you the one who can do it?

| |
| − | == File format ==
| |
| − | The video files' extension is <tt>.ogg</tt>, which indicates that it uses the Ogg container format. Ogg is capable of containing a range of codecs, but it usually holds audio encoded with the Vorbis codec and/or video encoded with the Theora codec. Our trailer contains both.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If a file contains just audio, it is normally called an "Ogg Vorbis" file. If it also contains video, then it is normally called "Ogg Theora", although "Ogg Theora+Vorbis" might more accurately convey the fact that it is a video with a soundtrack.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We use these codecs because they offer high quality at small file sizes; plus they are free and Open Source, which fits in with the philosophy of ''Battle for Wesnoth'' as free, Open Source software.

| − | ===Playing the file===
| |
| − | Wikipedia has a guide to viewing Ogg files which you may find helpful: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_help_%28Ogg%29 link].

| |
| − | ====Linux and similar Unix-based systems====
| |
| − | If you have a reasonably recent Linux system, you will probably be able to play the video immediately.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Linux distros vary so much that specific advice may not be helpful, but a good approach is just to try playing the file in your favourite player. If it fails, try another one. If they all fail, use your distro's approved installation method (e.g. Synaptic, YaST...) to search for the relevant libraries (libtheora and libvorbis) and a decent player (VLC, Kplayer, Mplayer, Xine, Kaffeine, Helix, Totem...).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Windows and Macs====
| |
| − | Usually, you won't be able to play the trailer until you install some software with Ogg support. There are several available. The simplest option is probably to install the [http://www.videolan.org/ VLC] player.
