That's a judgement.  I respect your opinion on this.  Equally, I would suggest 
one should respect the upstream opinion on how they spend their development 
resources.  I'm not part of digikam upstream so I have no special knowledge of 
this, but perhaps the existing usage of ffmpeg sufficed and they had other 
priorities to work on.
