The FFmpeg<\/a> team is still very much committed to making a formal release, and soon. Originally, the release was slated for this weekend. Some problems with the bug database made it difficult to host a major bug-fixing initiative as planned last weekend. So the current plan is to go on a binge bug-fix this weekend and hopefully release next weekend. The release has waited this long, so what’s one more week?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, things are going great with automated testing. Thanks to much discussion and determination from quite a few people, the entire regression suite passes, at long last, on more configurations than ever before, giving FATE<\/a> a more solid baseline for continuous testing. Most notably, the regressions pass on 32- and 64-bit Mac OS X, 32-bit icc (Intel’s C compiler), and PowerPC\/Linux when using gcc 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2. 4.3 still presents a problem, while the SVN versions of gcc for the PowerPC have been messed up for months. I’m really not sure what to do about that. Further, I see that gcc on PowerPC 64 suffers from a colorful variety of random problems (sometimes the compiler even comes up with an internal error, and we’re not even talking about the SVN versions of gcc here).<\/p>\n

Still, things are looking up. Also, according to my tally on the FATE test coverage page<\/a>, FFmpeg supports 501 muxers, demuxers, encoders, and decoders. I don’t have to tell you that nothing else comes close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
