[FFmpeg-user] Questions to developers..

[Jeeyoung Byun]

Usually developers write the codes by themselves directly referencing the
technical specification? Or if some existing open sources or non-official
codes are available, then they sometimes refer the codes?

Actually, I have some legal issues using Dolby AC-3 codec from FFmpeg. Does
anyone know that how the "FFmpeg AC-3" was developed in a sense of the
references? Referencing the specification directly? Or referencing the
existed unofficial but available source codes from Dolby?

Oh, absolutely no offense to developers.. :)

Thanks,
