We understand that very well. Once again, it is you who do not
understand something: your BELIEF that SDR does not belong in ffmpeg is
nothing more than that, a belief, an opinion, and it weighs nothing in
front of the argument that some users want it.

Did you miss the part where he explained he was not interesting in doing
it like that?

This problem does not come from SDR, it comes from you.

Like a lot of features.

Scrapping the bottom of drawers for arguments are you?
