I agree, given the sheer number of these rarely used pixel formats, I suppose it's not worth the extra code complexity to add them all in. If we are keen on having support for these pixel formats, I think it would make more sense to have a way for users to specify custom formats? But even then I don't know how useful that would be for most people. In the meantime, I'll remove the new format from the patch. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
