To my great surprise there are people working with reference decoder and asking for files with some features and digestable by it. Well, here is an ultimate answer – RCV muxer for FFmpeg (hey, writing a muxer and patching FFmpeg build system were two things I haven’t done yet).
You can get FFmpeg sources, apply this patch, compile and try ffmpeg -i file.wmv -vcodec copy out.rcv
. Good luck!
BIG FAT WARNING. It is not guaranteed to work with reference decoder on all files. Try files with smaller dimensions.
Or hack reference decoder to ignore image dimensions (ffplay would play those files correctly while reference decoder complains on something about “image size is too big for this level”).
