> Being at the VDD conference when the libav and FFmpeg developers got together in a single room and agreed to come together

It has been a difficult process, but we got things done, in the end...

I'm glad we're past this.

> JB, when’s the next VDD?

This fall, I hope in Sicily. :)




Noob question here - when we say libav is dead, what does that mean? Asking because doesn’t ffmpeg use libav internally?


ffmpeg has many internal components (avformat, avcodec, etc) but none of those are “libav”. libav was a fork of all the ffmpeg code (they took all the code, copied it, renamed their copy to libav, and changed the name of some binaries like changing the ffmpeg binary name to avconv). That fork is dead now. No one is maintaining it. The libav.org site doesn’t exist anymore.


Ah thank you!
