There was no activity on the package for 3 months when I wrote this! By his logic, that would qualify for someone else to take over the account if they like the username.
We suffer that garbage not because people like you and me did not think of _money_ as reward for other people's projects but because of advertising, tracking and click counts.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with publishing things for free, doing things for free and consuming things for free. The best content on the web is done by people from their own interest in sharing. Personal contacts, exchange of information, feedback and community are so much more worth than money when it comes to motivating the production of good things.
And how would you find out if that question has been answered before? That would only work if there was single unified centralised question site. And then we are pretty much back at Google's single search field.

I challenge that. I do not believe it is true. Google wants to be the go-to directory for spatial queries so that they can display their ads and make tons of money. The quality of the data is irrelevant after a certain level, as long as there is no viable alternative or people just blindly trust Google. Google Maps' data is quantity over quality by a wide margin.
I recommend "-tune animation" for content like this.
Also I second izacus' "don't use baseline". I would even use a higher profile, for quality's sake. For bad clients you would always convert content if needed. Unless of course, you are one of those users constrained by them in the first place.
What does it make "professional"? I would expect zero crashes from that, as compared to any other "non-professional" open-source video editor I used so far.
Just today I thought how much I appreciate that exact setup and that I should donate considerable money to the project.
So hereby I pledge that I will send 100 dollars this weekend. This is not even 2 dollars per months that this project provided me with a perfect portable media player setup.
