It's indeed interesting because Baptiste is (or was?) an ffmpeg core developer. This makes me wonder if this is a friendly or not so friendly fork. > I > wonder whether there could be any benefit, linking gmerlin to this > version of ffmpeg? Only if there are serious reasons for that. Using libavcodec with their frequent API changes is painful enough already, so I rather don't want to start dealing with different forks. Also as far as I see the changes are mostly on the encoding side, e.g. for writing Quicktime files. We have libquicktime for that. Other things like Id3v2 tags have been supported in gmerlin-avdecoder for ages already. > Also, it would eventually be interesting to use this to create testing > files for gmerlin_avdecoder. I'm always interested on *correctly* encoded media files, which don't work with gmerlin-avdecoder. No matter if they are created with ffmbc or a different software. This is something, where all people, especially non-coders, can help.
