Well, since you mentioned 2 of my projects I thought I would comment. If I could get all of the features from Flake into FFmpeg then I would gladly stop developing it in favor of making the FFmpeg FLAC encoder better instead. I started Flake as something fun to do and because it ended up being pretty good I ported it to FFmpeg. The biggest part of getting the rest of it to FFmpeg is variable block size encoding, which has hit a wall because of the current FFmpeg audio encoding API. The reason why Aften was and still is developed outside of FFmpeg is a long story that I don't care to go into at the moment, but a big portion of what would be needed to port it to FFmpeg has to do with per-codec options. -Justin _______________________________________________ FFmpeg-soc mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-soc
