VLC uses FFmpeg directly, not via GStreamer. GStreamer isn't even mentioned on VLC page, is it? > Who deprecated ffmpeg? > I didn't say that FFmpeg was deprecated, but the GStreamer FFmpeg plugin set. It was replaced by libav plugin set which does the same thing (libav is fork of FFmpeg). Honestly, I don't know why. It's up to GStreamer developers. GStreamer Libav is just plugin set for GStreamer 1.0 and provides very same functionality as the GStreamer FFmpeg plugin did for 0.10 series. > Will VLC continue to be based on ffmpeg? > > Why do I need libav? > > ... > > jb. > > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
