promoting an open source product?
cdibona: I'd get a handle on how to understand those users. The smaller shops need a fair amount of help dealing with almost every aspect of codecs on their devices. From patent clearing to implementation, deploying these systems are ridiculously complicated if you want to do so legally and in compliance with the gpl, iso and other licenses around these tools and when you combine this with some of the less , ahem, legit codecs that are floating around (people pulling code from qt and wma players then representing them as their own work, etc...) there is a fair amount of consulting opportunity out there.This is assuming you are with any of the following: ffmpeg, mplayer, vlc, gstreamer, etc...
