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 GPL?|LGPL? is any less draconian than Intel's terms on their Media SDK. Before the patch in comment:8 can be reviewed (and applied), it has to be changed so that {{{--enable-nonfree}}} is necessary to allow compilation with libmfx. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2591#comment:14> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker _______________________________________________ FFmpeg-trac mailing list FFmpeg-trac@avcodec.org http://avcodec.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-trac
