That would be my main concern. I abstract the connection between demuxer and decoder, and there is no field to transmit such mandatory flags right now, while I do handle side-data. So basically, this new flag would add additional work for everyone doing something similar, while using side-data would likely "just work". - Hendrik _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
