others may have other oppinions, but i think optimized code in FFmpeg for Pi would be a good idea. How to integrate this best though i do not know. And i cant know as i have just quickly scrolled over the changes not really looked in detail But its certainly better to have hw optimizations in main git and not have a seperate repository that needs to be maintained seperatly for each platform ... and that the user has to find also ... and then 3rd party apps could have even more issues here if they wanted to use optimized libs ...
