"That's inaccurate. The /usr/bin/ffmpeg program as shipped by libav is not strictly a fork, as it is an unmodified version of the ffmpeg ..."
This is inaccurate too. I've never seen in ffmpeg any such message, from any git checkout. That means people from debian did change ffmpeg source code, so it is NOT unmodified version of ffmpeg, thus the misleading message is harmful, because people do think ffmpeg itself wrote that message and abandoned the project. That kind of message hurts ffmpeg project a lot, convincing people that avconv is some kind of "future ffmpeg" which is not. avconv is simply an ffmpeg fork and should clearly be distinguished from ffmpeg that way and not to lie to people that it's some kind of further natural step in ffmpeg's development. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005536 Title: missleading message in ffmpeg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1005536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
