why cant we use another free video format that doesn't have this kind of trouble, shouldn't save us a lot of time and sake ? :D <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 9:57 PM, Jeff Spaleta <<a href="mailto:jspaleta@gmail.com">jspaleta@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 1:41 AM, Valent Turkovic <<a href="mailto:valent.turkovic@gmail.com">valent.turkovic@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > There are two projects; saya-videoeditor [3], myvideoeditor [4] saya currently relies on the OpenVIP media framework..which uses ffmpeg. the reliance on ffmpeg makes its nearly impossible to include in Fedora. I can not stress this enough, applications which have compile time dependencies on ffmpeg will be difficult to place in Fedora. Unless someone figures out how to patch out the encumbered technologies in ffmpeg, we can't ship ffmpeg. And even if we did find a way to patch out everything we can't distribute, it may not be worth doing because we would be in effect shipping a significantly crippled ffmpeg library since ffmpeg does not understand the concept of pluggable runtime codec support. Its a real shame, if we could ship a limited version of ffmpeg which support unencumbered codec technologies we would have the ability to ship versions of several multimedia frameworks and applications. But the way ffmpeg is structured as a project and a codebase, makes its difficult to safely work with. -jef <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com">Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list</a> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. :::: CONTRIBUA COM O MEIO AMBIENTE.
