> why should they? > there are enough distributions and compilers Because the average user cannot compile code her-/himself. Especially on Windows, it is not that easy to compile ffmpeg. (Well, I succeeded at last.)
I provide some scripts that perform regular tasks for image and video processing for my colleagues (all engaged in vehicular accident reconstruction), and most of them lament how complicated the task of installing the needed tools is. (For the experienced user it's not, of course.) The average user seems to get confused quite easily. You may of course postulate that the use of ffmpeg is not suitable for the faint of heart ;-) Wolfgang Hugemann _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
