PS I see on the devel list that there are potential patent issues because of the use of certain codecs. I finessed that by using the ffmpeg version from rpmfusion, and thus installing the free and nonfree codecs they are referencing. If you try the above build without them, it will probably still build, but will have reduced functionality. Now that mp3 and mpeg are off patent, I think the use of other codecs would be limited unless you are editing commercial DVD files using aac, or video files using h264. Videos using webm probably are using open source video and audio encoders. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
