FFAStrans forum

I've taken a quick look at the website and I am excited to say the least. I work at a rather large media organization and I'd like to use something like this instead of Elemental, Rhozet, etc. as FFMPEG offers better encoding options and better support for many of the formats we need. I also really like that there is encoding node support with this software and it seemsfairly user-friend (based on the pics). This came up on a Google search today and looks amazing!

FFAStrans could be just what we need. However, since it isn't open source or commercial I can't just install binaries on our network without having the security guys come after me with pitchforks. Can you please email me at the address provided in my account so we could discuss some other options that might work?

Thanks in advance!

Hi adcprod, I've sent you a private mail.

Hi, Steinar!

Could you please do the same for me.

Recently I have presented the solution based on FFASTrans to my colleagues and the only opened question was the licensing. We should somehow take into account the risk of the software becoming abandoned. There are several options how to handle it, depending on licensing. Commercial licensing is one of possible ways, while the source code is closed.

Hi Steinar,

We think that FFASTrans is great tool ! but yet we decide to not go ahead with it, because we're concern on it's sustainability.
Is there a way that FFASTrans became a day an open source software ?

Regards

If I die, someone will make it open source for me. I'll put it in my will If I one day get tired of doing this, I will make it open source. If I one day decide it will be open source, it will become open source. If someone wants to pay a large sum of money for the project, it will probably be commercialised and hopefully sustained that way.

Hope this somewhat answers your question
