[FFmpeg-user] hw_decode.c on osx?

The example's working fine for me. (I think... I don't know what kind of format videotoolbox decodes to but if I squint and tilt my head a little the hex dump looks like it might be raw pixel buffer bytes of some sort lol)
Did you read the readme in the folder the example is in? I'm wondering when you say you compiled hw_decode by itself you literally mean just the compile step using cc.
