By this logic, both libswscale and libswsresample should be merged into libavscale. The mathematics of resampling and scaling is the same :) Anyway, renaming a library needs a really strong motivating reason, and I don't see that reason being present here. As discussed further up-thread, I will try and re-use the existing swscale public API, but internally restructure things so that SwsContext is itself the "high-level wrapper" that I intended <avscale.h> to be. We are very fortunate that SwsContext is entirely private, so I'm not too concerned about the code implications of this. At worst it will involve a bunch of renaming commits. > There's also the precedent of avresample, which was ultimately dropped > in favor of swresample, so trying to replace swscale with a new avscale > library will be both confusing and going against what was already > established. > _______________________________________________ > 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". _______________________________________________ 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".
