so... let me get this right...
Some of you are complaining about a command line switch (--blueray-compat) that is compeletely
optional (because you can still write the explicit commands yourself). A command line switch that just happens to not jibe with your strict interpretation of the spec becuase you disguard that there is such a thing as "the real world" status of the spec.
These are the same people that are using x264 for FREE, and don't contribute to the coding effort.
If you MUST have a patch that differs from the mainline development of x264 then do the 5 or so steps to get MSYS, GIT the repos, SVN things like ffmpeg, do "configure ...;make install" for ffmpeg then "configure ...;make install" for x264. If that's too much why don't you go and whine to that PATCH feature developer to get them to change --bluray-compat to your interpretation.
How about showing some appreciation for the volunteer effort that the x264 Dev's give EVERY DAY FOR FREE.
To devs - you rock. I'm excited and appreciative every day of your gift to the community.
