[MPlayer-dev-eng] Opportunity for list members (w/ attach)

[Jeff Gladnick]

Hey thanks for your interest!

1) I am not 100% sure yet, but was strongly considering 640x480 MPEG-2. 
   You said that was non-gpl, which is ok.  I mean, what negative 
ramifications could result from that?

2) A photocell would work, although there is a small cost per unit with 
those devices.  Since there will already be a webcam, if someone was 
well versed with motion or another video capture program, it would be 
very simple for them to write a program, and much cheaper for us.
