If you read that, read the opposing point of view that he links to as well: http://codecs.multimedia.cx/?p=370 You can basically sum everything up as "one big mess" in my opinion. There's talented coders on both sides -- too bad they didn't find a way to keep the project together. Strong coding skills seem to often have an inverse relationship with strong social skills, unfortunately. For AVbin 9 and 10 we're going to try Libav. Whether or not we decide to support FFmpeg as well or instead in the future just depends on how things work out. It makes my life harder, unfortunately, since there's not a clear leading project that I can commit to tracking long-term. Because of the limited scope of AVbin (just decoding/demuxing using a few API calls) we *might* be able to maintain support for both. ~ Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
