Do you realise how toxic you make the FFMPEG community look?
To answer your last point first, either they don't know how toxic it
looks, or they don't care. It's been like this for so long that if it's an
elaborate trolling attempt it's a very, very determined one. Either way
it's horrible and I regret that it exists, but nobody in authority seems
willing to do anything about it.
As regards the issue of release versions, the way I usually do it is to
download a statically-built executable. As a windows person I'd invariably
do this anyway; I have built ffmpeg on windows but it's a real hurt in the
hiney. There are usually executables available which presumably represent
"current git head" as it existed at some point in time. It's anecdotal, but
I've never had a problem with these. You can update at will, or keep your
known-good setup together for the price of simply including that executable
file.
There are, as I understand it, a number of potential legal problems with
distributing that, since it is quite difficult to obtain a set of source
files that are known to be symmetrical with the executable you have. It's
even more difficult to prove that any particular set of source files are
symmetrical with any particular executable. Still, it seems to be more or
less tolerated on the basis that as a purely practical matter, anyone who
wants the source to ffmpeg would download it anyway.
Yes, if you want to use ffmpeg you need to pay for each patent it
implements
are you drunken or trolling by intention?
