Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : open-broadcast-encoder
  Version         : n/a, git repo not tagged

  Description     : Video stream transcoder

The system is used by TV stations to convert from SDI video signal to
video streams than can be transported over the Internet.

The upstream author report that it will be hard to package for Debian,
as it uses patched versions of x264, ffmpeg and other libraries.

As we use this software in the Norwegian open channel Frikanalen, I
would love to see it in Debian and thus create this WNPP request to have
a place to discuss.
