Over the past month there has been an open-source ProRes decoder added in FFMPEG's git repo.

That plus it has been confirmed that Elvis Presley is alive after all. ;-)

Sweet! Oh-lala! no more virtualbox for opening films from fruit-machine clients.

Yep and utcodec is also now supported, now it's not just for windows. Works in Blender too. :-)
