It would be very helpful from the ffmpeg side, if there finally was a real release, on which application could rely on binary/sourcelevel compatibility. See also http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/faq.html#SEC22 for reference Besides this, linking dynamically against ffmpeg results in loss of features and performance. At least I was told this by an ffmpeg developer. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
