Theres also the human element, where people are not machienes that can be placed and told things arbitrary. RaptorQ is "cool", ARQ is boring Some people enjoy working on "cool" things, dont tell them to work on boring things please. Its bad for them, and likely bad for the results. If you find RIST/SRT important, you should work on it, or fund someone to do it or to submit a project idea to STF/GsoC/... and work on it with their funding ... Also IMO if you have someone who wants to do a project that moves FFmpeg forward, be supportive of the effort and try to find a way to make it happen be that inside or outside STF. Arguing against efforts to move to teh cutting edge of technology will do only one thing and thats havig competitors take the space and FFmpeg fall behind thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Asymptotically faster algorithms should always be preferred if you have asymptotical amounts of data
