Hi Stephane, There are two issues:
1) license - ffmpeg source has optional dependencies to GPL'ed code. Hence it has GPL'ed code. Even though those are optional and we do not use them, we cannot include them in the ParaView source. 2) patents - ffmpeg has support for patented algorithms that we do not have licenses for. As of ParaView 3.6, we do not depend on any patented algorithms. Including the ffmpeg source code would cause issues even though we do not use its patented algorithms. Because of the issues, we cannot include ffmpeg in the ParaView source. PS: We are now using mjpeg for creating avi files. -berk On Thu, Jun 4, 2009 at 11:09 AM, Stephane PLOIX <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Could you include the needed ffmpeg library sources in the source code of > ParaView, with an option to build it or use native ffmpeg for the system, or > is there a licence issue? > > Stephane > > > > [email protected] > Envoyé par : [email protected] > > 04/06/2009 16:08 > > A > [email protected] > cc > [email protected] > Objet > Re: [Paraview] Paraview 3.6 compilation with animation in avi format > > > > > A very good point.
