Not sure how much was in response to my complaints, but if this parts was I think that misses my point, as I agree that it doesn't matter which. What matters though is: The AVI demuxer creates AVPackets with palette in side data, and the AVI muxer supports ONLY palette appended in the data. How to fix it might be philosophical, but I think it's not philosophical and fairly clear that that's just broken. Even remuxing from AVI to AVI simply won't work without a "decoder" (which is not an issue performance-wise, but it is usability wise, how should a FFmpeg user know that for paletted video and only that a lossless stream copy requires "decoding" and "encoding"?). > about existing API, i suspect there arent many applications that > use ffmpegs demuxers without the decoders for raw pal8, i might > of course be wrong but this seems a rather uncommon case of a uncommon > case. And muxers side it was all broken before mats ... Well, then we know I can only blame Mats for "only" making it better instead of perfect :) _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
