It was not, for the reasons mentioned in the commit message. In my view, the fact that nobody fixed it in all that time proves that nobody cares about this functionality and thus that there is no value in keeping it. Furthermore, I believe this filter (and all the associated "postprocessing" ones) are anachronistic relics of the DivX era. They were in fashion around ~2005 (though I doubt they were actually improving anything even then) but nobody with a clue has used them since H.264 took over. The value they bring to the project is actually negative, since users who don't know any better might use them under false impression that they would improve video quality. MPV removed those filters eight years ago and AFAIK nobody ever missed them. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ 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".
