Nice. The local price here is only about 12% more than the list price
on the website. That is good, we usually pay about three times as
much! However, the Ebay knockoff is $37 USD including shipping, that
is about one fourth the price of the WD unit even before shipping is
added!

FFmpeg is LGPL I think, so the WD website would have mentioned it. Of
course, the LGPL need only be mentioned on downlaod pages and the
product manual itself in the stricktest sense.
