[Libav-user] FFmpeg libavcodec examples

[Ken Bass]

Okay, my bad, sort of :-).

I went to the ffmpeg home page, followed the link to the "current" doxygen
documentation link, and finally got to an updated an (presumably) working
example.

The only one to really blame, I guess, is google ( is that like blaming
g*d?), since that is how I got the first, outdated, link. Don't know how to
fix that.

In a previous life, I was a sw designer/architect/company. So from that
experience, might I suggest that for those older versions of the
documentation, putting  (noticeable) text somewhere stating that that isn't
the "current" version, and perhaps with a link to the current version. That
would have saved me many days of hitting that brick wall. But then, this is
only a suggestion. You guys are the experts, and obviously good ones at
that :-). Thanks for great (open src) software.

And thx, Joshua, for your response.
