ffdshow development hub - is there such a thing?

[shae]

What's the central place for ffdshow discussion for developers and users? Is it here? (It seems so.) And who are the active developers?

How about having an ffdshow sub-forum, possibly with sub-forums of its own, instead of that 2000+ posts thread and the new 300+ one which goes in the same direction? :)

Thank you. I'm aware of this sf project page. There isn't really much activity in those forums. I still maintain HERE is where most to all of the discussion happens...

So what's one to do? Multiplex another discussion into the 1-2 threads here? :) Doesn't anyone else think it's counter-productive?

Official ffdshow is moribund since March. And yes, most discussion takes place in that thread (the other isn't supposed to be a discussion thread, just a notification thread), it's easier. :p And you only really need to follow the last couple pages. If you want a changelog, there's one in VM9's sig: Changelog (http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ffdshow-tryout/?view=log). But no official build notes until it sort of stabilizes down; basically most of the codec work revolves around vc-1 support right now. But if you post on the other forum you should recieve a response.

Active and semi-active developers:
videomixer9
drevil_xxl
clsid
haruhiko_yamagata
me :p

cc979 likes to test a lot too.

Yeah, I know. doom9 beats that place too. :)

*shudder*. At least it's not FidoNet... Offline access is nice, but the lack of structure is troubling. Are there any decent mailing list clients that maintain structure, akin to common web forum software?

But anyway, I guess most of the discussion happens here.

Easier than *some* things, but not others (like thread/topic) :) You will have to ignore unrelated messages, and if the discussion wasn't frequent you'll have to dig back.

So again, like that suggestion I read somewhere (perhaps deep in that thread?), why not arrange it more akin to LAME and Hydrogenaudio?

And until/if that happens, I will sadly contribute to that mess of a thread... so, see you there.
