* configure: error out on unsupported MSVC versionsRostislav Pehlivanov2018-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FATE tests for MSVC versions older than 2013 are untested in FATE and apparently are no longer supported. This commit makes the configure process error out in case an older version is used, and suggests to use a supported version of MSVC to compile. This also changes the documentation to reflect this. As discussed on IRC: 2018-05-12 19:45:16 jamrial then again, most of those were for old msvc, and i think we're not supporting versions older than 2013 (first one c99 compliant) anymore 2018-05-12 19:45:43 +JEEB yea, I think 2013 update 2 is needed 22:53 <@atomnuker> nevcairiel: which commit broke/unsupported support for msvc 2013? 23:23 <@atomnuker> okay, it was JEEB 23:25 <+JEEB> which was for 2012 and older 23:25 <+JEEB> and IIRC we no longer test those in FATE so that was my assumption 23:26 <+JEEB> 2013 is when MS got trolled enough to actually update their C part 23:26 <+JEEB> aand actually advertised FFmpeg support 23:26 <+JEEB> (although it was semi-failing until VS2013 update 1 or 2) Signed-off-by: Rostislav Pehlivanov <atomnuker@gmail.com>
* build: Prefer NASM assembler over YASMDiego Biurrun2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | NASM is more actively maintained and permits generating dependency information as a sideeffect of assembling, thus cutting build times in half. (Cherry-picked from libav commit 57b753b445e23363c997a8ec1c556e0b0f6e9da3) Signed-off-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
* lavc: remove libschroedinger encoding and decoding wrappersRostislav Pehlivanov2017-05-29
| | | | | | | | | The library has stopped being developed and Debian has removed it from its repositories citing security issues. The native Dirac decoder supports everything the library has and basic encoding support is still provided via the native vc2 (Dirac Pro, intra only version of Dirac) encoder. Hence, there's no reason to still support linking to the library and potentially leading users into security issues.

* | lavc: remove libfaac wrapperJosh de Kock2016-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is really no need for two aac wrappers, we already have libfdk-aac which is better. Not to mention that faac doesn't even support HEv1, or HEv2. It's also under a license which is unusable for distribution, so it would only be useful to people who will compile their own ffmpeg, only use it themselves (which at that point should just use fdk-aac).

As early as 2012, a HydrogenAudio user reported: > It has however one huge advantage: much better quality at low bitrates than > faac and libaacplus. (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?PHPSESSID=ckiq394pdglka0kj2fin6ij8t7&topic=95989.msg804633#msg804633) I myself have made a few spectrograms for a comparison of the two encoders as well. The FDK output is consistently better than the libaacplus one, in all bitrates I tested. libaacplus license is 3GPP + LGPLv2. 3GPP copyright notice is completely proprietory, as follows: > No part may be reproduced except as authorized by written permission. > > The copyright and the foregoing restriction extend to reproduction in > all media. > > © 2008, 3GPP Organizational Partners (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TTA, TTC). > > All rights reserved. (The latest 26410-d00 zip from 3GPP has the same notice, but the copyright year is changed to 2015) The copyright part of the FDK AAC license (section 2) is a copyleft license that permits redistribution under certain conditions (and therefore the LGPL + libfdk-aac combination is not prohibited by configure): > Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without > modification, are permitted without payment of copyright license fees > provided that you satisfy the following conditions: > > You must retain the complete text of this software license in > redistributions of the FDK AAC Codec or your modifications thereto in > source code form. > > You must retain the complete text of this software license in the > documentation and/or other materials provided with redistributions of > the FDK AAC Codec or your modifications thereto in binary form. > > You must make available free of charge copies of the complete source > code of the FDK AAC Codec and your modifications thereto to recipients > of copies in binary form. > > The name of Fraunhofer may not be used to endorse or promote products > derived from this library without prior written permission. > > You may not charge copyright license fees for anyone to use, copy or > distribute the FDK AAC Codec software or your modifications thereto. > > Your modified versions of the FDK AAC Codec must carry prominent > notices stating that you changed the software and the date of any > change.
