Hi there, Just want to add a bit more info to this:

One of the main reasons cited for why Debian > (and Ubuntu) went with libav was because it would offer more > stability, something desirable with respect to maintaining a distro > such as Debian. See this link. > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2011-May/000891.html I asked myself this question sometime ago, i.e. why Debian opted for libav instead of ffmpeg. I voiced my concern here: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-December/022895.html and http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-December/022903.html Then later I got this final, insightful response http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-December/023070.html I hope this helps Cheers Andres _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
