Would you also tell a user who took their time to make a test case and bug report that they're wasting their time and their argument is invalid (even though I literally explained how what I tested is a completely real practical situation)?

That's a loaded question as it already implies that one person is right and the other one isn't. As said I can't make that assessment here. Generally speaking if *I realize* I am wrong I would admit so, but I don't think that's the answer you're looking for.

Okay, are you sure you've read the thread? Because I tested a use case I *have* and is *real* and I'm *literally putting it into production on Sunday*, and ffmpeg sucks at it, and fdk doesn't, and I proved it. The other side's argument is "your use case isn't real".

All I have is "cascaded transcoding is invalid to prove anything" and I don't even know what that means tbh

Then why are you arguing with me on Twitter and saying you read the thread when you didn't?https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1255778661942231040?s=19 …

Man I've read that. We're talking about the same tweets. I am saying that the only indicator of a dismissive response I have from FFMPEG is that one quote.

You've read that and you still don't know what "cascaded transcoding" references? Look, no offense but if you don't know what we're talking about why are you having this discussion with me now?

Because the aspect of how to interact with oss maintainers can be very much viewed independently of the technical issue at hand. I'm basically saying you're rude af and you're telling me "oh yeah, well learn about cascaded transcoding first"
