Yeah it only works on img formats which have a parser to re-assemble full images, so its use is a bit limited. On the other hand, you can actually use it to pipe several images in one command into it (if you have a parser), so both use-cases can be useful i suppose. - Hendrik _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
