Hi Stephane,<br>
<br>
There are two issues:<br>
<br>
1) license - ffmpeg source has optional dependencies to GPL'ed code.<br>
Hence it has GPL'ed code. Even though those are optional and we do not<br>
use them, we cannot include them in the ParaView source.<br>
2) patents - ffmpeg has support for patented algorithms that we do not<br>
have licenses for. As of ParaView 3.6, we do not depend on any<br>
patented algorithms. Including the ffmpeg source code would cause<br>
issues even though we do not use its patented algorithms.<br>
<br>
Because of the issues, we cannot include ffmpeg in the ParaView source.<br>
<br>
PS: We are now using mjpeg for creating avi files.<br>
