[Ffmpeg-devel] NUT (de)muxer

[Oded Shimon]

I had just sent a patch to disable NUT in FFmpeg yesterday, before there 
was this thread... It must have gotten lost in mplayerhq mail.

Not really. There's libnut and nututils, and unlike lavf's nut, they 
are synced to spec... If we release NUT soon, and lavf's NUT would not be 
synced, it would cause mass confusion as lavf would create _and play_ 
its own NUT files, even though they don't conform at all to spec...

Regarding who, lu_zero (Lucas iirc?) has started working on syncing it, and 
I'll probably continue his work, either way, for now, here's the patch to 
disable.
