Looking at M?ns his replies after a long time, I see again some
hostility. M?ns maybe right (or not), but I advise him to contact
Michael directly and keep this fight between the both of you off this
forum. If developers of ffmpeg start to squabble here, their will be an
unnecessary fork, diversion of resources and everybody loses. Of course
if someone is doing this for himself and don't respect the opinion of
others or even the dependency others might have on his/her
contributions, they are free to leave this community, don't they?

Frans.
