Re: ffmpeg plans for F-16 ?
2011/8/1 Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede(a)gmail.com>:
ffmpeg has releases 0.8 which incorporates all
changes from the libav-0.7 release, but I don't know
if the 2 are still API let alone ABI compatible...
The FFmpeg team ensures that the 0.8 series is API/ABI compatible with
Libav 0.7.
[...]
So this leaves us with 3 choices, wrt ffmpeg itself
1) Stay with ffmpeg 0.7.x, updating it to 0.7.2
2) Move to ffmpeg-0.8.x, this will require rebuilding
all ffmpeg using packages and since some deprecated
API has been removed this may require more then a
simple rebuild in some cases
3) Have both versions parallel installable
We will need both versions. FFmpeg 0.8 for gst-ffmpeg 0.10.12 and VLC
1.2.0 when released (MPlayer I'm not sure if support the new API). 0.7
for everything else (VLC 1.1.x, ffmpeg2theora 0.28, etc).
And 2 options for gstreamer-ffmpeg:
1) Try making it use the system ffmpeg (0.8 if
available, otherwise 0.7.2)
2) When 1 fails, use the bundled libav copy
gst-ffmpeg 0.10.12 will not compile with old FFmpeg API. It needs the new one.
