OK, I'm looking to watermark some flvs during transcoding and have found out that the regular ffmpeg way using -vhook is no longer supported (since 0.5) in favour of libavfilter. However, afaik none of the ffmpeg developers have yet been able to bring watermarking using libavfilter to the ffmpeg board, even after this being a major request in ggogle's summer of code.
So... reverting to ffmpeg 0.5 not being an option due to the all the up-to-date x.264 libraries not being backward compatible, what are the other OSS options for watermarking videos?
If ffmpeg without vhooks can do this, please shoot me down in a blaze of unglory...
