I don't think it matters too much to also have the alias video4linux2, or at least I can't think of any good reasons to remove it. One reason for this trivial patch was so the v4l2 in/out-devs can be listed on one line in "ffmpeg -devices" or "ffmpeg -formats" like (all?) the others. One user reported that he was unaware of the outdev because he only saw the indev listed (possibly looking only for video4linux2). _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
