maybe you would like to join avifile team ?
we already use SDL and we believe we are doing are best with this library.
what would you like to do ?

hmm avifile itself is very close to the plain C except it safe it's time

Well - there is certain 'pressure' to make this a plain C project -
and if GNU developers will be harming g++3.0 even more - we may probably and
up as a C project which will have C++ interface over the top of this for
backward compatibility - but so far we have still figured ways how
to use a build C++ files fast even with g++3.0 (this change is in
progress and will take some time)

doc is always the problem with very limited amount of developers.
also you should know there is project 'ffmpeg' which might better
suit your needs.
