Just interested, how do you manage licensing tarpits around certain video codecs supported by ffmpeg?

FFmpeg is not bundled with the app. User will have to install it separately and link it with CompressX. Hope this explains

"licensing tarpits" patent trolls?

Various codecs ffmpeg supports have legitimate patent licenses. I can't think of any of the patent pools with NPEs, actual patent trolls.
