Hence, I'd like to keep it open for now until we reach the concensus. And I'd like to apply the patch set [1] soon for auto scale if no objections, as the first step and touches raw video only for restricted usage for now (which is documented clearly). This is already being waited for some time. - Linjie [1] https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/list/?series=1434 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
