@FFmpeg @bitmovin Great April 1st @FFmpeg , sadly, we haven't donated 1 million to ffmpeg. Trust me, I really wish. However, over the past years, we have paid significant amounts to various open-source initiatives, including bento4, x264 (part of Videolan afaik), x265, AOMedia, DASH-IF, etc. We

@FFmpeg @bitmovin I clarified my respect to ffmpeg in the comments, and clarified that I’m focusing more on the challenge of scaling software like that in the cloud, doing distributed chuncked encoding, using spot instances, doing distributed rate control, that’s hard stuff

Wow, no wonder the networks are suffering. We see an increase of 380% in data download in the last 30 days, that's crazy! ... consider per-title encoding, or HEVC/VP9, etc.

@FFmpeg @bitmovin I am sorry that this has escalated and if I came across disrespectful to ffmpeg, that was not my intention. I'm a big fan of what you guys do, and in fact @bitmovin started out of open source too, with Libdash and other open sources libraries.
