I use NDI for SDI to/from IP conversation at contribution encoding against J2K at zero cost, which is also compatible with NDI equipments. I wasn't brave enough like Maksyn to spread the word. I think the source code itself doesn't violate GPL. It use an external lib, just like drivers. Newtek stopped distributing the binary. I don't understand how removing source code from FFmpeg repo punishes Newtek. It just discourage developers and took users out of notice for some days. Anyone can make an external repo with a patch to apply to use it back at a point where this removal is still under questioning. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
