We're not talking about dynamic linking here though, but runtime loading. Can I not use VAAPI because the underlying driver behind it may be closed source? In fact we talked about this exact topic with j-b the other day, and he is the closest to a lawyer we have around here ;), and he agreed that FFmpeg built against the mfx dispatcher is no problem - it only becomes a problem when you start distributing the Intel binary with it, which you shouldn't do. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
