I can only advice against that website. libmp4v2-1 is packaged in the pkg-multimedia team and a clean packaging can be found on git.debian.org. Please consider joining that packaging team and maintain the packaging for ubuntu there. The main problem with mp4v2 is its license: MPL. This license prevents the library to be used from any GPL licensed application. This does not seem to be a new issue, btw. My general recommondation for new program that want to decode AAC is to port them to libavformat/libavcodec. > And if so, what will be the fate of mpeg4ip?

I'm inclined to suggest to just drop it. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
