Of course they are. Not in real time, but people would use the same method that was used for H.264 back in the day: re-encode to a simpler format (and/or skip processing steps). So any speedup will still be welcome on these even if less critical. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
