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. +<br><br> +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. +</p> +</blockquote> + +<p> +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. +</p> + +<p> +We also urge all websites that use MPlayer/FFmpeg to share the +crashing/unplayable files with us. We +<a href="http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=YouTube">suspect</a> +that <a href="http://www.youtube.com">Youtube</a> uses our software, +and we would like everyone to benefit from their work. +</p> + +<p> +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 +<a href="../DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_playback">Bugreports</a> +section of the documentation. Or you can report non-working videos on our +<a href="http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/">Bugzilla</a> or on the +<a href="https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users">MPlayer-users</a> +mailing list or just <a href="mailto:patriotact_at_gmail.com">send me</a> +an email with the URL of the problem video. +</p> + +</div> + + +<div class="newsentry"> + +<h2> <a name="dvdnav413">2008-09-09, Tuesday :: libdvdnav-4.1.3 and libdvdread-4.1.3 released</a> <br><span class="poster">posted by Dominik</span> </h2>
