mlt is eventually in, jahshaka sadly doesn’t build against qt4 and that prevented me from committing it.<\/p>\n
avifile is eventually dead and so oggvorbis and avi useflag. If you are looking puzzled at this announcement well: avifile is superceded by xine and ffmpeg for sure. The oggvorbis useflag now is split to ogg and vorbis, allowing a more finer distinction.<\/p>\n
I hope to get an updated mplayer snapshot soon as I did with the newer ffmpeg snapshot that is in ~ right now. If you know some package that doesn’t build against it, please notify me and the upstream developers. Coordination and awareness is good always =)<\/p>\n
In other news the person nicked doom9 made a fool of himself on the mencoder user ml[1] and on his forum[2], disqualifying libavcodec mpeg4 encoder because he doesn’t like people asking for bug reports (Michael Niedermayer, a great developer, famous for being patient) or people pointing faults in his comparison methods (Richard Felker, hot blooded mplayer developer and nitpicker). I spent the time reading the complaints on his forum and the ml thread and I could say that anybody who doesn’t understand the difference between a codec and a post processing stage or that if a decoder is bit exact another means that their output is the very same, should not say much about being unprofessional…<\/p>\n
Notes: I’m not an ffmpeg developer or mplayer developer but I had to deal with both upstream and they aren’t bad at all. I just hate unfair treatments.<\/p>\n
