As ever in SW engineering its not the *deciding* (despite what countless books for non-coding project managers and bosses might lead you to believe) its the *doing*. And *doing* needs oodles of time. When I was young(er) and still working as an Academic I could really motor along on my open-source projects. Seriously, as you get older you not only have less time but also more money to indulge in other distractions. I would *love* to get a solid 8-16 hours a week in on mpeg2enc/mplex like I used to years ago but I now have (in no particular order): a wife, a young son (cute!), a day-job doing equally interesting SW engineering, a house, and enough money to indulge my motorcycle-racing habit. If I'm honest another factor is that technology has moved on and I simply no longer *need* to compress recorded video for myself anymore (all MPEG-2 DTV, soon H.264 HDTV). Longer term the future for 'on-computer' video is clearly with H.264. MPEG-2 lives primarily so folks can burn standard DVDs. Its like (S)VCD. 2-3 years back a hot topic. Now... nil interest. If I could find an interested person wanting to take over as 'owner' I'd gladly invest time in explanation/support to do a proper hand over. So far no interest. Hopefully (I work from home nowadays) I'll have a bit more time this winter and push mpeg2enc forward again! cheers, Andrew -- Dr Andrew Stevens Erdingerstrasse 23 85464 Neufinsing Germany Home: +49 8121 883672 Mobile: +49 173 5397553 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
