I've been watching the discussion. I'll be test benching the differences with FFmpeg and Libav (on the same system) through-out the year.
That's interesting. How do you intend to benchmark this?Do you want to test the command-line utilities, or compile all reverse-dependencies of src:libav against FFmpeg, or something else?
I will be setting up the experimental (nightly) FFmpeg ppa in launch pad some time tonight (it's 9pm EST here) or tomorrow. Then I'll add an experimental (stable).
I couldn't find any packages in your PPA [1]. Should there be any, or didn't you add them yet?
If Debian, and all other derivatives, intend to stay a Linux OS, then there should be a solution for FFmpeg & Libav to co-exist. I've done this with Gnome and KDE - I have a hybridized desktop. I don't expect Debian or Canonical to do this. I expect it to be purely a community/individual effort. If a Linux OS is truly Linux, then it must be highly customizable.
This is what I'm working for. Best regards, Andreas 1: https://launchpad.net/~cyborg-alpha-nh4/+archive/ffmpeg-exp-nightly
