Comment(by niles):
Replying to [comment:28 ddrake]:
> I think this patch is largely superseded by #11170, which provides an
`ffmpeg` option for creating animations; by installing ffmpeg, you can
create videos in Theora format, which makes the spkgs and patch here
unnecessary. Also, ffmpeg supports far more formats, which makes it a more
flexible solution.
There is perhaps also the subtlety of patent and license issues -- there
seem to be more severe limitations on the ways ffmpeg can be distributed,
while png2theora is licensed under a relatively free BSD-style license . .
. thus png2theora could conceivably be included with sage at some point,
while ffmpeg is harder to imagine.
In any case, the patch at #11170 is quite useful, and doesn't suffer from
the Mac-specific problems mentioned above.
