Thanks for the pointers. However:
[1] only gives the reasons for the fork by one of the main libav
developers,
As he is also one of the most active libav maintainers in Debian, it's
a natural choice to follow his route for the Debian packages as well.
[2] suffer almost the same bias except it acknowledge that ffmpeg is
somehow going faster
More commits and releases do not necessarily mean better code.
I prefer to trust facts than biased views. We will probably see the
result in a year or two but damage will be done. I happily only use
ffmpeg and cannot seriously comment on libav.
Sorry, but you'll have to find out these "facts" by yourself. So far,
I have not experienced any problem with libav and do not feel to miss
anything from ffmpeg.
As for as codec/feature information is, I guess the "--enable-gpl" and
"--enable-nonfree" that exist in ffmpeg have impacts that could also
be documented.
They are shortly documented in debian/confflags, exactly where these
flags are enabled (or not, in case of --enable-nonfree). Or what else
do you mean?
