I think this is much better. The problem are still the semantics. I tried to discuss it in Libav, but nothing conclusive has emerged. Maybe you could send this patch to libav-devel for discussion? (I feel a bit sorry for playing this ping pong with a first time contributor. If anyone has a better idea how to continue this, please make a suggestion.) By the way, it's not a good idea to send base64 encoded patches. I don't think most mail clients can expand them automatically. It makes review harder. Just attach them normally. Also, try to avoid top-posting. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
