See this picture?
I don’t know why it appears in quite a few VC-1 Advanced Profile official test samples (the rest I could decode are football trainings as in SP/MP samples).
Yesterday I’ve written VC-1 Elementary Stream demuxer and now have enough material to test interlaced decoding and other AP features (when I implement them).
And another task – make work VC-1 embedded in .EVO – official format of BlueRay/HD-DVD.
Hi
When do you think that support for HD DVD’s (VC-1 .EVO files) will be ready?
Can’t wait to try it out in VLC 🙂
PS. Blu-ray don’t use .EVO files I think, but .m2ts files (MPEG-2). If decrypted they already work in VLC. Correct me if I’m wrong.
PPS. If you need any samples (.EVO files etc.) I can help you out.
Keep up the good work!

With some hacks (it also needs demuxer support) it can be played on MPlayer but it requires further work to properly handle interlaced content (for now I have sucessfully played some of MAINTITLE.EVO).
EVO is really just a standard MPEG-2 format with some extended codes for all contained streams.
And I really need a lot of different samples for testing (and have no ability to download multi-gigabyte streams from P2P) so please, provide them.
Thanks for the reply!
I have not been successful in playing any .EVO files in MPlayer OS X.
Can this be done as it is now?
Isn’t the HD DVD .EVO files MPEG-4 VC-1?
VLC needs a new MPEG-PS demuxer, the developers say, for it to work.
The VLC thread on the subject is here:

Do you already have the .EVO samples from the MPlayer ftp?
They are here: ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/evob/

Wow, HD-DVD playback on linux is not far away, great work!
Also, as Martin said, Blu-Ray doesn’t use .EVO, it uses transport stream (.m2ts).
