Why we need --disable-yasm option to configure FFmpeg ? #45

Dear developer,

I fail to see why we need to add the --disable-yasm option to configure FFmpeg. It will lose a lot of performance, won't it?

Hi sorry for the very late reply. When I installed ffmpeg I somehow got some yasm error, and that's why I disabled it. In GETTING_STARTED I reported the exact procedure I did for reproducibility. So I think if removing that option works better for you, please feel free to remove it. Sorry for the confusion.
