Doesn't Chrome use libavcodec?

I'm somewhat with you but we're also talking about a $3.4T company that's depending on an OSS project with what... under a $1m budget? It seems they're pretty resource constrained.

I'm pretty sure Google makes more through Chrome's usage of libav than ffmpeg's entire budget. So yeah, I think Google should put effort back in and I think it's in their best interest.

Trillion dollar companies standing on top of open source projects and giving little to nothing back is not okay. It's also just stupid since they're eating their own foundations
