Cinelerra must support multiple versions of ffmpeg at least through conditional compiling. FFmpeg is 'solution to record, convert and stream audio and video' (from homepage). It is not optimized for editing. It is possible with certain amount of work to use it in an editor. I want an answer to question what is better for cinelerra in newer versions of ffmpeg. Cinelerra does not use very much of ffmpeg - do the improvements in ffmpeg affect cinelerra? I have never been a great fan of upgrading to newer version. Recently I had a major crash at work just because of upgrade. I have impression that ffmpeg is not very good in frame exact seeking and this is not the goal of ffmpeg. Cinelerra needs exact seeking. If you have time to look at the cinelerra-ffmpeg relationships, please do it Einar Einar _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
