I completely lost track of the discussion, but this all so shouts bikeshed and overkill. If I may suggest another colour for the shed: Put some random, freely licensed image where the Lena image was, put the Lena one in the sample repository and run the tests with either just one or both depending on what is available. Disadvantages: increases runtime Advantages: everyone running proper tests gets increased coverage (especially if the image has quite different characteristics), everyone else still gets a good bit of testing. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
