I have no experience with codecs, let's say I compile this, how do you even use this h264 codec afterwards?
Typically a codec is implemented as a library (/usr/lib/libsomething.so) that is used by players and encoders.
That, I expected as much, but how would you ensure that mplayer, for example, uses that library you compiled instead of another one for h264 ?
allright, thanks for the info.
Clearance of patent issues. Cisco pays the maximum amount of license fees for this certain implementation, so everyone can legally use and redistribute it. The downside is of course that Cisco needs to apply all changes themselves, as it's only their binary that is affected.
Interesting. So the Pandora could ship with this (or a derivative)?
you dont want to recompress all your h264 files into somethng else, thats why.
Since you seem pretty sensible to bad english grammar or spelling :"Most people don't want to recompress all of their h264 files into something else, that's why."
Pretty much. When I initially switched to FreeBSD years back, the main annoyances were lack of flash support and having to be really particular about which GPU I bought.
