Hi Jules.

I read the “CameraDevice”, it’s very neat and useful to implement the video relevant app, I have a craze thought,

Would you have the plan to add some video codec functionalities to Juce, e.g. h264, mpeg.etc, although there is another way to invole ffpeg in, but I think it will be nice for juce to include this.

Thanks

Are you suggested adding an actual implementation of the decoding algorithms, or do you mean that Juce should have wrappers for existing codecs like FFmpeg or libmpg123?

Of cause, it’s the second. I suggest adding the wrappers for existing codecs. 😃
