Yes, ffmpeg in Debian ships decoders for these formats, but no encoders. You can verify by looking at a build log for any architecture. For example here's the build log for i386 [1]. grep 'ffmpeg -formats'. Explanations as to why can be found at [2] and [3]. 1. https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=ffmpeg&arch=i386&ver=4:0.5.1-3&stamp=1268432605&file=log&as=raw 2. http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=debian/README.Debian 3. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522373 -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
