At the time, FFmpeg was often changing the ABI, so Alex chose to create a thin-wrapper whose ABI could remain stable so that Pyglet could use it easier. As to why FFmpeg over something else, I would guass that it was because FFmpeg (and now Libav) supports a huge number of input formats of both Audio and Video, including most of the common ones. You should also realize that this was about 10 years ago. ~ Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
