Comment (by Balling):

 >Seems pretty damn simple to me how it’s SUPPOSED to work

 We do not provide any binaries because even h264 decoder technically
 violates a bunch of patents. By not compiling we make it go away.

 >People should get payed for their efforts.

 Pantents cannot be held by people, it is always held by corporations
 because per the law you must actively seek lawsuites to enforce the patent
 or it will be voided. That is impossible to do for a singular person.

 >That’s how business works.

 What business?

 >not including necessary codecs and such.

 It is not part of ffmpeg, it is a separate library and we provide a
 wrapper.

 >the nutjobs are the only ones that have what you need, you suck it up and
 pay the nutjobs

 Pay? It is criminal penalty. No one will do it. VLC and FFmoeg are bases
 IN france and thus are avoiding prosecution, genius.


 >Open-source isn’t good for everything,

 Libfdk is open source.

 >need a simple encoder program to fail on top of all that.

 We are the mist important media library in the world uses on Mars and in
 Youtube. So LOL, it is not simple.
