It will be much easier to keep it up to date. Also, there are many instructional resources available, both free and commercial, and it would be misleading to list only a few. Feel free to create a page under '*Community Contributed Documentation'*at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki and add your free ebook as an entry.

Last year, I suggested all recent books to be listed but there was no response. http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2020-May/262634.html After I made the ebook free, I contacted Lou Logan. He mentioned that (he is not with FFmpeg anymore but that) FFmpeg.org did not want to make assumptions on other authors. Quoting him: > I know you did this before, but if I recall correctly the main problem was that your > previous patch included many other books.

I'm talking about starting a page on the wiki and listing all books *there*. No patch required. Regards, Gyan
