You suggest I should shoe-horn this into every application. Very helpful, thank you :) As for "clearly", it is your personal feeling, not an argument. Seriously. > We do not want hacks around the established systems just because it > doesn't fit your use-case or workflow, sorry. You should listen more on those who actually live in their workflows. It is there your code is being useful. Or not. I happen to be in a suitable position (using the stuff and arranging it for others) to estimate what is useful. Based on this I am trying to help ffmpeg. You are certainly free to refuse the help, for any reason :) Rune _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
