Coding Style:
There are not a lot of rules, but we prefer brackets on their own line,
the Subversion log more useful as a ChangeLog. For example,
docs/policies.txt: added policy about commit message
-Increment the version number in ./configure on the first commit after a release
-as well as just prior to a new release. This way we can track if someone is
-using an unreleased version from the source code repository.

Do not write messages to stdout. stdout is reserved for writing streams that

+A filter or transition should express the image format it wants before calling
+mlt_frame_get_image(). It should expect to receive what it requested as long
+as it is yuv422, rgb24, or rgb24a and you are using the imageconvert filter
+(typically via the loader producer and its loader.ini file).
