\nA new FATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike’s FATE system has done a great job over the last few years. It
\nis however beginning to prove inadequate in various ways:<\/p>\n

[various shortcomings already dissected at length on this very blog]<\/p>\n

To address the above-mentioned issues, I have been working on a
\nreplacement system which is now ready to be announced.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check it out: http:\/\/fate.ffmpeg.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering that he just obsoleted something I’ve poured a lot of time and energy into over the last 2.5 years, is my first reaction to this news supposed to be unbridled joy<\/strong>? Hey, I’m already on record as stating that I wouldn’t mind throwing away all of FATE if there was a better alternative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure that at this point, the original FATE server<\/a> is practically obsolete. Mans is already testing all of his configurations as well as the configs I test. As soon as the other FATE installations switch over to the new server, I should be able to redirect fate.multimedia.cx -> fate.ffmpeg.org, sell most of my computers, and spend more time with my family.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Mans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
