"upstream", and claims to ensures API/ABI compatibility. Michael<br>
Niedermayer offered repeatedly in the past to merge every development<br>
of Libav into FFmpeg, so that should solve your struggle for good.<br>

Feel free to drop by in #libav-devel if you find some API that is hard<br>

The trunk wouldn't compile. Probably some API changes for the next release, that's ok.</div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif">
