Hi Marshall, Even if we can't distribute ffmpeg, we could include code that calls it (animate(..., animator='ffmpeg')). That code could check to see if ffmpeg is installed, and then use it or raise an error. How hard would it be to write a patch? (I've never used ffmpeg.) -- John -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
