From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProRes_422" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProRes_422</a>:<p>ProRes 422 is a standard-definition and high-definition lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production. It was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2 [1] and is comparable to Avid's DNxHD codec which has the same purpose and uses similar bit rates.
This code makes me feel like I'm not even a real software engineer, I'm just a guy playing with kiddie languages working on kiddie problems. Anyone else think that after reading it?
This is a great development for decoding ProRes with non-OSX OSes. What are the legal implications? Will ffmpeg need to pay to license the ProRes codec from Apple? Does Apple even offer a license for the codec?
