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!
Contacting Blackmagic Design developer assistance
You can also contact us via [e-mail] if you have any developer related questions
