Bug#199266: ITP: ffmpeg -- multimedia streaming system
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-29
Severity: wishlist
Since the ffmpeg ITP (#157719) was closed almost one year ago, I
assume no one is interested anymore, thus this ITP. I use ffmpeg daily
and I am not satisfied with the reasons given for closing the ITP. If
anyone disagrees I'll gladly elaborate.
* Package name : ffmpeg
Version : upcoming 0.4.7, probably latest CVS snapshot
Upstream Author : Fabrice Bellard et al.
* URL : http://ffmpeg.sf.net/
* License : GPL (but see notes below)
Description : multimedia streaming system
Package: ffmpeg
Description: converter for audio and video formats
FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter. It can work on files but
also grab from a live audio/video source.
.
FFmpeg can convert from any sample rate to any other, and resize video on
the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.
Package: ffserver
Description: multimedia streaming server
FFserver is a streaming server for both audio and video. It supports
several live feeds, streaming from files and time shifting on live
feeds (you can seek to positions in the past on each live feed).
Package: libavcodec-dev
Description: FFmpeg's audio/video codec library
FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and
video. This package includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec
library.
Notes:
There will be no ffserver package at first because it is slightly
broken at the moment.
Also, libavcodec optionally links with GPL libraries. I will build
with support for those libraries that are already in Debian (hence the
License: GPL), but will also provide _lgpl variants (à la libart-dev).
And since the API is not stable, PIC libs will be static (_pic.a) instead
of shared.
