Fortunately, I know the history of our projects better than you: First, FFmpeg was already a feature-rich self-contained program when MPlayer started using it. Second, MPlayer did not start using it FFmpeg as a library, it started — and still does in part — using it as embedded code. Too bad your attempt at disproving my point just proves it. > Force-feeding the SDR code to all FFmpeg packagers is not going to make it > popular.

They have no ground to oppose, and neither do you. > FWIW, Fabrice Bellard didn't bundle all his initially hobby projects > together. > Several of them became popular. He bundled together the things that fit nicely together. Once again an argument in favor of SDR integration. -- Nicolas George
