<__tim> slomo, the WMV3 one - sure, why not?
<slomo> __tim: because backwards compatibility maybe :)
<__tim> slomo, but we're not setting a format now for that, do we?
<slomo> no
<__tim> so how can adding the field cause problems?
<__tim> anything that works now must already accept it without the field
because of the stricter subset checks
<__tim> so then it will accept it with the extra field as well, no?
<slomo> __tim: avdec_wmv3 will have that on its sinkpad caps now... so demuxers
must add that field to be able to link to avdec_wmv3
<__tim> oh I didn't see the decoder change, I thought you meant the riff change
<__tim> tricky, I guess it mostly matters for third party demuxers, and the
question is if anyone will use those without third party decoders
<__tim> otherwise it should be ok to announce as something to look out for in
the 1.2.0 release notes, if we think it makes sense
<slomo> ok, it makes sense ;) and i'm not aware of any third party demuxers for
1.0 (yet)
<__tim> AD-N770: any thoughts?
<__tim> the other alternative might be to give vc1parse a rank and make it
accept non-tagged input (?)
<slomo> i don't think vc1parse is ready yet :)
<__tim> k
