Two posts in two days after such a long silence, who'd have thought it...... And again it's about FFmpeg.
This time Phoronix has posted an interesting interview summary with Diego Biurrun, Baptiste Coudurier, and Robert Swain, three of the many, but very key, developers working on the FFmpeg project. The interview covers some interesting topics about the future of FFmpeg, the difficulties of maintaining such a large project, managing developer motivation for writing codecs and the limited corporate sponsorship the project has so far received.
I've known Baptiste for a year or so, having met at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention in Las Vegas in April 2008. I'd like to personally thank him for the work he has done on implementing DNxHD in FFmpeg.
Anyway, read the interview and learn something about behind the scenes at FFmpeg.
Also worth a read, which I just found today, is the Phoronix tests on NVIDIAs VDPAU drivers on a cheap chipset and graphics card.
