Bug#729203: please include ffmpeg

[Samuel Orr <uraharakisuke153@gmail.com>]

Greetings Debian maintainers,

When the fork initially started I was not sure why or which to use. I trusted Debian's decision to go with libav-tools (they know more than I?). Now though, I know that for my use case ffmpeg is much more usable. I use this script to record or stream my desktop (replace ffmpeg with avconv when using libav-tools). It does not work using avconv. It records a few seconds of output, and then freezes. When I try streaming, my stream is blank. It works correctly using ffmpeg.

Please reconsider packaging or even replacing libav-tools with ffmpeg.

Thanks,

Samuel M. Orr

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

schedtool -I -e ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 15 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i default \
-vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -g 30 -vb 2000k -minrate 2000k -maxrate 2000k \
