So, yesterday I finished autotoolification of ffmpeg. I sent Dave Schleef a patch (so he could do some assmbler magic to ffmpeg), and I’ve already integrated it (well, “sort of”…) in our new gst-ffmpeg module and am now watching Quicktime movies with my GStreamer installation.

So far for the good news. Bad news is that I didn’t commit it yet.

I’ve been thinking about reviving our ffmpeg demux wrapper, which could be used as a fallback if we don’t have one ourselves. That’d give us instant demuxing support for +/- 10 new exotic movie formats… Anyway, long-term…

Other stuff
I’m off for Evanescence (playing tonight at Roseland, NYC) in a few minutes, and am currently finishing up details here at the lab…

Short “hi” from Manhattan, New York City! I arrived here Sunday with a broken laptop, no internet or email access and a taxi driver that didn’t speak english (oh my, the odds). I’ve been to Cornell university for a few days now, I’m getting accustomed to the city and generally, I think this city is excellent.

I hope to get a new laptop screen next week, have internet by then too, and get back to GStreamer development! For now, I’m off to the parties today and tomorrow.
