I feel we’re blessed to have a project like FFmpeg. This open source tool is so important for everyone.
I think most everyone agrees with that. FFmpeg is kind of a corner stone when it comes to multimedia.

#32Only slightly broken already. Dont remember the details, but Gemini could not this to work just by reading the manual. https://github.com/timonoko/Skipperi

#33I still hope a future FFmpeg release will make Intel QSV encoding available on Windows laptops where the manufacturer disabled this capability from the ACPI tables. The only way to use it on these laptops is currently FFmpeg on Linux.

They can't, unfortunately.
Linux's drivers makes that happen, not ffmpeg; ffmpeg merely calls the API.
Intel's own first party drivers simply follow the ACPI tables, Linux ignores them.

> - ONNX Runtime DNN backend with GPU execution provider support Oh, wonder what fancy new things this will enable. Any examples in the wild already perhaps?
I wonder if it’s going to be some custom encoder/decoder using DNN. I would also want to see some examples!

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
In FFmpeg's twitter page it says that several of their developers got six free months of Claude Max 20x plan through Anthropic's Claude for Open Source Program, and that it was used, so far, to help find missing backports for this 9.0 release.
Sounds like advertisement though.
That's how sponsorship works, it's an exchange of goods or funds for visibility of an audience. Nothing wrong with that

Sounds like getting them hooked on LLM so they come back for more.

And as a ffmpeg user with some old/weird hardware, I would much prefer click-and-hope support to no support at all. Ideally they’d have the resources for a real live human to hand-code assembly for every codec for every platform, but that’s probably not realistic. I’ll take what I can get and dust off my assembly skills if a click-and-hope implementation is close but not quite enough.
Makes sense. The problem I see is that LLM use deters many potential contributors. I understand that in your use case this is not an issue since you prefer working code over theoretical contributors (as said makes a lot of sense), but I am noticing this in many projects that transitioned hard into an AI dependency. It puts a barrier to some people. If 99% of a project's contributions are via AI, is that project still…
Yes, contribution is what keeps a project alive. It's up to the people involved to maintain quality. That's management. Two different things, both important.
