Extactly. tc and ff are quite the opposite on this topic: - ff aims to reimplement the most external stuff as is possibile (please note: I do NOT see this as a problem; I'm just describing the perceived or declared aim). - tc aims to _interoperate_ with the most (interesting) external stuff as is possible: that's the reason why we support libmpeg2 AND libavcodec AND libx264; the reason why I want to write something like mpeglib and mantain avilib, in spite having growing support for libavformat; and so on.
