Actually we already do, theora, vp8, vp9 and a few others have completely different values for most color properties, and we just check before initializing the context or frame fields. Since iso/itu codecs are the ones that more consistently use all the properties everywhere it makes sense that the enum values and field values match and imho it's simpler to use. -- Vittorio _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
