An Interview With the Developers of FFmpeg

Posted by kdawson on Friday March 13, 2009 @04:36AM from the in-media-res dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following the long-awaited release of FFmpeg 0.5, Phoronix has conducted an interview with three FFmpeg developers (Diego Biurrun, Baptiste Coudurier, and Robert Swain) about this project's recent release. In this interview they talk about moving to a 3/6-month release cycle, the criteria for version 1.0, Blu-Ray support on Linux, OpenCL and GPGPU acceleration, multi-threading FFmpeg, video APIs, their own video codecs, and legal challenges they have run into."

I don't use Youtube or VLC, so I really don't give a damn. FFmpeg also causes problems with tons of other applications and games.
