I don't actually know what your patch does, but we are always interested in fixing issues. There are two main issues we are facing: 1. We simply cannot apply your patch, so therefore it can't be tested 2. Nobody has the time or motivation to go through your changes and turn them into a proper patch Simplified steps: 1. Install Git and configure it: $ git config --global user.name "Your Name" $ git config --global user.email "m...@example.com" 2. Download the repo: $ git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg 3. Navigate to ffmpeg directory and make a branch: $ git checkout -b mats 4. Apply your patches and/or make your changes. 5. Commit your changes. Give a proper title and message (see examples on ffmpeg-devel). Also see --amend option if you want to make more changes later. $ git commit -as 6. Review your changes: $ git log -p -2 7. Make patch (or setup and use "git send-email"): $ rm -rf patches $ git format-patch -o patches origin/master 8. Attach and email the resulting file in patches directory. Make sure to use a mail client that does not mangle it. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
