I believe it would make more sense to integrate one of them in sws as a backend (and fallback) so that the api doesn't change, or, if we absolutely need no external deps, then write an entirely new library, but 15k$ work for "cleanup" on a library noone consciously wants to use seems wasteful IMO. -- Vittorio _______________________________________________ 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".
