I returned form the LDP last weekend where we had many interested users visiting.
Showed a usual webcam-based demo and gave away some T-Shirts, helped out with some command lines.

There have been some samples brought to us though during the second day where
users experienced problems transcoding/dec.
For one, that is a DVB-T2 recording, FFmpeg is actually fine with the file and
it looked like a VLC regression since 3.0.18 (VLC freezes). Plays fine in my
3.0.6. and the users 3.0.9, so its all VLC's fault. Files are available 0:-)
The other was a tuning issue for libsvtav1 where -profile appears broken for his
FFmpeg version 6.0... though a proper -preset was sufficient to help out.
