amistuff have add nice features to ffplay.you can save a picture with key s.show me videoplayers that can do it easy.
s in mplayer as well, it's always been there.
Also in ffplay you can rewind or forward in Video files with cursor keys.Show me player that can do that so easy ?
Again, mplayer always did this, and more.
and time will show, what amiga features ffplay/ffmpeg get more.I plan a easy to Video recording/editing Software in amiblitz too.there is also no problem to do that with ixemul.
But more importantly - there is no problem doing it without ixemul.
From my point of view, as a user, ixemul is mostly an annoyance, it's a last resort for quick&dirty ports - using it as some sort of framework for real amiga software just seems insane.
Oh, and please stop using "Linux" all over the place, it makes me cringe as there's nothing Linux about it - use posix, or un*x or something.
