@LundukeJournal @theo @FFmpeg Ah, I remember why now. Theo was shit talking FFmpeg, and the account roasted him a little. Then he dug the hole deeper.

@zxq9_iwao @LundukeJournal @FFmpeg Clearly your memory isn't very good, I've never shit talked ffmpeg in my life.

@theo @LundukeJournal @FFmpeg Ah, just VLC. My bad.
