Joining the Blackmagic Design developer list
The Blackmagic Developer mailing list is designed for technical questions regarding technologies used by
Blackmagic Design, eg QuickTime, Core Media, DirectShow, codecs, APIs, SDKs, etc. The free mailing list
is a forum where developers can discuss ideas and problems with other developers. Any subscriber may
reply and the Blackmagic Design engineers may also respond when appropriate. You can subscribe to the
mailing list at: http://lists.blackmagicdesign.com/mailman/listinfo/bmd-developer
In some cases, we might request a brief outline of the software you are developing if it is not immediately
obvious from your domain name that your organization develops video software. Please don't take offence
as we're simply trying to keep the list free of spam and viruses as well as end-user customers asking
non-development questions, employment agents or sales people trying to promote products on the list.
The list is just for developers.
