That would be a question to the package maintainer, not me. He's maintaining packages for all supported nVidia driver series, not just the latest, as far as I remember. As for updating FFmpeg, I consider it something akin to "libc" for all things multimedia, so any update should be considered very carefully. > Do you expect that (current) 4.0 has less bugs > than the last 4.1 release? Not necessarily, but new features may come with new bugs, too. Anyway, as James explained already, 4.1 is ABI and API compatible, so I'll consider the update. Thanks.
