[FFmpeg-devel] [NASTY] Vividas hacks

[Måns Rullgård]

Some company called Vividas is apparently using a variety of open (and
close) source multimedia software, FFmpeg included, for nefarious
activities on the net.  To their credit, they acknowledge the use of
these libraries, and even provide some hacked FFmpeg sources:

Curious to see just what they'd hacked, naturally not expecting
anything useful, I grabbed their FFmpeg tree and started diffing.
Needless to say, they've made a mess of it.  The files are a mix of
revisions from April through August 2006.

After some filtering (easy: look for tabs and trailing whitespace),
the attached patch emerged.  I didn't attempt to analyse it at all,
but I figured perhaps others here would like to see what they're up
to.

On a side note, someone should get to work breaking their
"encryption".
