Why don't you look into VP8 or VP9 from google, open source free..?

FFmpeg is maybe less quality codec.

I'm not a lawyer, but as long as you follow all the items in the "License Compliance Checklist" on that page, you can use the FFmpeg library in commercial software since you would be complying to their LGPLv2.1 license. That 'Note that...' sentence says there is no separate commercial license that can be obtained for using FFmpeg under different terms, it doesn't say that it can't be used in commercial applications.

    Samuel, thanks for your response.

    It looks like *FFmpeg* is really NOT an option for *commercial
    applications* -- See for example:
    https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html (see especially the "Note that
    FFmpeg ..." sentence and the last two paragraphs on the page).

    I see that *OpenCV* ... http://opencv.org/ ... states that it's
    "free for both academic and commercial use", but there seem to be
    issues with this, e.g. as raised on this thread: "OpenCV Free for
    Commercial use" ...
    http://answers.opencv.org/question/73877/opencv-free-for-commercial-use/


    We really need to be squeaky clean on licensing. So we may be
    willing to pay a reasonable fee for the ability to *generate
    (create) video FILES* given a sequence of QImages or QPixmaps. (Or
    at least with the possibility of getting frame image DATA from
    either of those Qt classes into the thing).

    Can anyone point me to authoritative information delineating why
    /and how/ these things CAN be used in commercial applications?

    - Phil

basic generation of video files, given a sequence of QImages or QPixmaps? We 
don't need audio with the video.

    Hi,

    Out of curiosity, why can't you use ffmpeg ?

    There's VLClib that you can use but it's also ffmpeg based so it could be 
problematic.

    OpenCV can also create video files.

    Hope it helps
    Samuel
