So if I understand what you are saying… there is not even a non-default
option to compile with quick sync support. Because that would violate
ffmpeg's licensing terms? Some BSD License (for ffmpeg) might have really
helped here. In this instance I really don't understand how the LGPL is
any less draconian than Intel's terms on their Media SDK.
