At Jumpshare, we use FFmpeg for screen recording. We noticed that the previous version of FFmpeg was not DPI aware. So we went ahead and fixed it. Now FFmpeg will show correct mouse location in hdpi screens. Unfortunately, it seems FFmpeg 3.0 does not ship with this fix. Nevertheless, we're happy to contribute to this open source project.

Here's the fix if anyone is interested: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/00c73c475e3d2d7049ee...

You can backport it easily, and it will be present in 3.0.1. Ask on IRC or the dev ML.

First time that I hear about your service and it seems like a copy of Dropbox but with way more features. (the interface)

Just a suggestion: Jumpshare Plus link should either be at the top or renamed "Pricing" because you don't see it directly and the usual ctrl+f of pricing gives nothing. Plus your pricing is nothing to be ashamed of :)

Hi, thank you for the feedback and suggestions. We will make sure to include the pricing in the new homepage we're working on. :)

By the way, we're more about quick sharing than syncing. We will be overhauling our homepage to make that clearer. Here's the app if you're using a Mac (Windows app is coming soon): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jumpshare/id889922906

Syncing (and its related attributes of backup and redundancy) are more useful, and Dropbox facilitates both that and sharing. So what's your angle? :)

At it's core, Dropbox is about "syncing". But at Jumpshare, the core is "quick sharing". This makes all the difference. We're able to build our product around the quick sharing aspect, for example, our sharing happens in real-time so you don't have to wait for uploads to finish first. And we offer a slew of built-in tools (capturing screenshots, annotations, recording screencasts, etc) and features to supercharge your sharing.

Okay, but what happens when Dropbox makes a minor upgrade to their sharing, making it also "quick" or real-time sharing? Already, when uploading a file to Dropbox, it can be shared and partially downloaded before it's finished uploading. Do that with an image or video that was just recorded, or that is being recorded, and that seems like real-time sharing to me.

And doing that with Dropbox means that, after it's been shared, it's also synced, mirrored, and backed up for you.

Where does that leave Jumpshare?
