I previously used ffmpeg in a broadcast production environment, and had to compile from source constantly because of this terrible decision.



You used the wrong Distro :) Redhat or SUSE.


I didn't have a choice. I usually use CentOS.


CentOS IS Redhat without a contract and is in fact owned by Redhat since last year.

PS. Everyone that down voted me for saying he used the wrong Distro, he was using CentOS which uses ffmpeg.

Hacker News Down Votes are so frustrating!


Did you note the part where I said I "usually use CentOS"? Also the part where I said, "I didn't have a choice" I was stuck using Debian, and hence had to compile from source because someone technically incompetent decided to select avlib instead of ffmpeg.

People are don't read/pay attention are so frustrating.


Or frustrating when the sentence is ambiguous.
