Joining the Blackmagic Design Developer List

The Blackmagic Developer mailing list is designed for technical questions regarding technologies used by
Blackmagic Design, such as QuickTime, Core Media, DirectShow, codecs, APIs and SDKs. 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 will also respond when appropriate. You can subscribe to the
mailing list at: http://lists.blackmagicdesign.com/mailman/listinfo/bmd-developer

If it is not obvious from your domain name that you are a developer, we may request a brief outline of your
software. As the list is designed solely for developers, we endeavor to keep it free of spam and viruses, non-
development questions and employment agents or sales people promoting products.
