It would be up to someone to > write he support for a separate ffmpeg3/ ffmpeg, ffmpeg0 and ffmpeg1 when it existed, can all be installed simultaneously. If you look through the ffmep0 Makefile you will find it adds a 0 suffix to the binaries, libraries and dirs installed to prevent conflicts. The ffmpeg configure step supports specifying the dirs to install into as well as the suffix to add. It may be time ffmpeg is updated to 3.x and the current ffmepg could be moved to ffmpeg2. It is only a matter of someone making and maintaining the port/s for each version, probably more to the point is how many other ports would need a version other than what is in ffmpeg. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Ambler
