FFmpeg is a volunteer based project, no one is payed for working on it, that said we try to do our best, and you can help by contributing (patches, support, etc.). > For a project as large and complicated as it is, one would > expect a good level of developer documentation.

In Windows things could be more complicated. [...] _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
