Please follow the netiquette when posting on FFmpeg mailing lists, especially avoidtop-posting and thread hijacking (that is, replying to a thread and changing the subject line to something completely unrelated that was not being discussed within the original thread) and please read theCode of conduct.

Configuring your mail client to break lines after 70 or so characters is a plus. If you attach files, avoid compressing small files, uncompressed is preferred. Also please try to avoid posting mails with overly long signatures or nonsense corporate disclaimers that claim the content of your mails is confidential.

Attached patches should not have application/octet-stream as mime-type, but text/plain or even better text/x-diff or text/x-patch.
If you send us a patch, please make it some form of unified diff. We prefer patches made usinggit format-patch from the root of your FFmpeg checkout or sent withgit send-email as shown inUsing git to develop FFmpeg. For additional information and guidelines refer to theFFmpeg Developer Documentation.

FFmpeg has two official channels on theLibera IRC network. Both channels are open and unmoderated. Maintainers have operator status, contributors with patches in FFmpeg have voice in the channels.Web.Libera.Chat is a web client for these channels. Please read and follow theCode of conduct.
