what do you think about writing something about ffmpeg is looking for programmers for snow on the web page? And that there ist some money as a refund for special kind of work?
I mean 1200 euros is not only a few.

You decide who earned how many from it.

There are some people out there that would participate - I'm sure. I fear they don't know about the possibilities.

It's a pity but I'm not skilled enough for ffmpeg. That's why I offer my money.

Regards
Lars
