Why do you say that when you know perfectly well than some of the developers holding copyright on the core code of the project will never let you do it and the project currently does not have the talent to rewrite everything? > We also don't need to support every use case.

I am ancient enough in the project to remember the time where supporting every use case was almost an official motto, and lucid enough to realise that it was the main reason for the success of the project. -- = Nicolas George _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
