Robert Scheck updated GUACAMOLE-1729:
-------------------------------------
External issue URL: https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/pull/407
> Support for non-legally encumbered video codec format in guacenc
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-1729
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1729
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacenc
> Reporter: Robert Scheck
> Priority: Major
>
> As of writing, {{guacenc}} unfortunately only supports the legally encumbered
> ("non-free") video codec format "mpeg4", which is, due to its nature, not
> part of Linux distributions such as Fedora as well as CentOS Stream including
> its downstreams like Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Rocky Linux.
> The idea is to introduce a {{-c <code>}} option to {{guacenc}} to be able to
> switch between at least two video codec formats, "mpeg4" and "libvpx". And to
> maintain full backward-compatibility for existing use-cases, {{guacenc}}
> falls indeed back to "mpeg", if {{-c <codec>}} is not passed.
> My main point is the keep this improvement _small_ to get it soon happen.
> Extensions can be performed in the future, of course.
