Samuel, thanks for your response.

It looks like *FFmpeg* is really NOT an option for *commercial applications* -- See for example: https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html (see especially the "Note that FFmpeg ..." sentence and the last two paragraphs on the page).

I see that *OpenCV* ... http://opencv.org/ ... states that it's "free for both academic and commercial use", but there seem to be issues with this, e.g. as raised on this thread: "OpenCV Free for Commercial use" ... http://answers.opencv.org/question/73877/opencv-free-for-commercial-use/

We really need to be squeaky clean on licensing. So we may be willing to pay a reasonable fee for the ability to *generate (create) video FILES* given a sequence of QImages or QPixmaps. (Or at least with the possibility of getting frame image DATA from either of those Qt classes into the thing).

Can anyone point me to authoritative information delineating why /and how/ these things CAN be used in commercial applications?

- Phil

We will not be able to use the FFmpeg library for video generation from our Qt

basic generation of video files, given a sequence of QImages or QPixmaps? We

Hi,

Out of curiosity, why can't you use ffmpeg ?

There's VLClib that you can use but it's also ffmpeg based so it could be 
problematic.

OpenCV can also create video files.

Hope it helps
Samuel
