++ ++The FFmpeg project would like to recognize and thank the people at +Picsearch for their help improving +FFmpeg recently. The Picsearch team makes extensive use of FFmpeg and +provided feedback to FFmpeg in the form of thousands of files that +either crash FFmpeg or use unsupported/unknown codecs. The FFmpeg +development team is putting this information to work in order to improve +FFmpeg for everyone. +
+
+We know that there are other organizations using FFmpeg on a large scale +to process diverse input types. The FFmpeg team invites those +organizations to provide similar feedback about problems encountered in +the wild. +
+The MPlayer team is also working hard on this list, so far we have added +support for 25 binary decoders and 23 fourccs to existing video codecs. +Stay tuned as we continue testing files and adding support for more codecs. +
+ ++We also urge all websites that use MPlayer/FFmpeg to share the +crashing/unplayable files with us. We +suspect +that Youtube uses our software, +and we would like everyone to benefit from their work. +
+ ++One of our goals is to be able to play every video file. If you have a file +which does not play with MPlayer, please upload it so we can take a look. +You can find instructions in the +Bugreports +section of the documentation. Or you can report non-working videos on our +Bugzilla or on the +MPlayer-users +mailing list or just send me +an email with the URL of the problem video. +
