If this were a feature that would be somehow automatically enabled or highly 
visible, that would make sense. But not only is it no such thing, it requires 
special hardware.

With that noted, for any reasonable understanding of "popularity", it would be 
less popular. That is the point. People who want to do SDR will be burdened 
with the other 99% of FFmpeg that they don't need for SDR. And that's if they 
find out that FFmpeg can actually do SDR - but in all likelihood, they 
wouldn't, because of the brand recognition of FFmpeg. Instead, they'd end up 
with some SDR-specific projects.

That's why, if Michael does not want to join an existing SDR project, he is 
much better off making a new one, than bundling in FFmpeg.

I believe that you have high IQ, and good English skill, enough that you 
should be able to more or less figure out what was noted above and up-thread.

And this puts me in a bit of a conundrum. See, if you did figure that much out, 
then you would be willfully committing defamation against me, by calling me 
dishonest. I suppose that I am going to have to assume that you are somehow 
temporarily incapacitated.
