ffmpeg is raw code for any and all things video. Most of the aforementioned |
| 12 |
software makes use of ffmpeg in one way or another. CVS is the only way |
| 13 |
to get at the latest code base....Lots of different codecs and folks |
| 14 |
that know their stuff on codecs.... |

PS drop me a line if/when you get the h264 codec working out of cvs |
| 22 |

I have several different pieces of hardware that produce 'h.264' based |
| 25 |
video, everything from embedded systems that are a 'hack in progress' |
| 26 |
to finished products from the orient. Interoperability testing |
| 27 |
is always of keen interest to me. |
