In memory of Frank Skare

[AnitaStax74]

Hello everyone, I am the older sister of Frank Skare (stax76).
It ist with deep sadness that I inform you that my brother Frank has passend away in February. He was very passionate about his software projects, loved and shared his passion with you, his 'family' of developers over many years.

My brother was a peaceful person, very kind and helpful to others.
Thank you for being a part of his journey and for keeping his work alive by using it!

Best regards
Anita from Germany

Condolences to you & yours. Sadly, life is fatal. Doesn't make things any better but here's more proof of this truth. May you find a way to live in his absence. I have had to deal with similar calamities. Somehow, you just put one foot in front of the other & eventually, it gets easier. Not better, just easier. Here's my wish you mange to get there.

I am relatively new to the mpv community, but I do feel the contributions Frank made for all of us and the passion he devoted.
Thank you Anita for sharing this information and I wish you inner peace in the absence of your baby brother.

I'm sorry for your loss. His software has been an immense enabler of my own output. StaxRip is my favorite environment for encoding, and I use it nearly daily.

I'm deeply saddened by this. He was not only a great developer who created StaxRip and MPV .NET but also an amazing human being on Doom9 (the international encoding forum).

Rest in peace, Frank, and teach the angels how to encode... :(
