Actually I would want to see subtitles to fully move into AVFrames before any filtering, if at all, and not half-assed. That means fully convert avcodec, deprecate AVSubtitle entirely (and not just shove it into AVFrame->data), and make them a first-class citizen inside AVFrame. Doing it half-assed just for filtering now binds us into that chosen API for years, and thats something we should try to avoid when we can do it properly right from the start. This can (and should) be done independent of filtering (in other words, avfilter doesn't necessarily need to accept subtitle frames yet), but it needs to be done *before* filtering, because you would be fundamentally re-defining the subtitle storage for years to come. Some developers have started work on this before, but due to time constraints it mostly got stuck in WIP phases. - Hendrik _______________________________________________ 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".
