hmm, just checked github, and everything in the inbox & sent is blank,
which is strange, cause I used to have messages. I think they may have
had a fault. Anyway, I'm glad i found out your use of parts of vidiom...

Nice one - I see you reference the 'halfninja' build system, this is the

https://github.com/andycat/android-ffmpeg-x264

Perhaps I will switch to your ffmpeg version.
