Yeah, I'm aware that it is still current despite the archaic packages - if it weren't we would probably have dropped it already, at least for encode. > And don’t misunderstand, I’m not against saying “Centos is dumb and should > bundle newer versions of the library/driver/whatever” - I’m just trying to > make clear that this is what the experience will be of any non-technical user > who just does a binary install from the most recent versions of one of the > more popular distros. I'm not sure that's quite accurate - if you install on current hardware it will refuse to run at all because that version of the driver doesn't support anything newer than Haswell :P But yes, it should definitely be fixed somehow. At some point that "fix" is to drop support for it, though. - Mark _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
