Thanks for enligthning me, akupenguing.
Can you suggest a source that will teach me lots of c/c++ tweaks like the use of the shift operator for division with 2^n on unsigneded integers. I had c / c++ lessons only for about 1 year at university, and they mainly covered the basic. So I do need to learn those tricks to be ever able to understand the sourcecode of projects like x264/mplayer/ffmpeg. And understanding is required before I am able to help with such projects.
