Thanks, I've been there but it was slow in loading, now I looked again and realized that there's new activity and new versions since Feb 2025 - after a 14 years break. That's a nice coincidence. Weirdly it's the second resurrection I discovered today, there's also a new Aegisub version after 10 years of silence 😊 sw _______________________________________________ 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".
