You can also just deprecate the current flag and add yours. The point is to not make the option disappear because it will break callers. Changing the behaviour (enabling by default / making the old option void) is fine, breaking the API (removing the option) not so much. -- Clément B. pgpIwJvMX5kqc.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel

If the option is set by default, you don't want to warn for no reason.
